Project 4: Address Geocoding
Geocoding
Addresses of Customers Who Performed Home Radon Tests
Objective:
geocode addresses
The above thematic
map shows the areas in which there are potentially low, medium and high levels
of radon (light red, medium red and dark red, respectively). The green
points are geocoded addresses of homes in which the people did a home radon
test. If a person in this region wants to know what the radon potential
is for their address, the Environmental Protection Agency (which stores this
information) can call up the address and give them the information quickly.
This is what the yellow triangle symbolizes on the map. A concerned citizen
called the EPA to find out their radon potential for their area, and unfortunately,
that address is located in a high radon potential area.
