Explore the conceptual framework and diverse approaches of geocoding and census mapping for social services, poverty, utility planning, labor force analysis, marketing, voting district delineation, emergency planning, epidemiology, flood plain analysis, and agriculture. This article discusses the significance and applications of geocoding in various fields alongside valuable case studies. Enhance your understanding of geocoding concepts, address hierarchy, census hierarchy, and suggestions for updates to improve data quality.

Suggested Updates to the Handbook • Updates on software/hardware discussion - mentioning the potential advantages of investing in open source GIS • Include suggestions for assessing data quality, such as the geocoding certainty indicator (GCI) (Davis and Fonseca 2007) • More and updated case studies (as presented here this week) • Perhaps mention the valuable role of the United Nations in facilitating an international spatial data infrastructure that brings disparate national information together
