Geocoding uncertainty

Data quality

Address-to-point geocoding carries a precision tier (rooftop, street, ZIP centroid) that is often dropped downstream; a ZIP-centroid-precision point treated as rooftop-precision misassigns the cell.

Detection

Geocoder confidence/precision field below rooftop/parcel tier.

Mitigation

  • Carry the geocoder precision tier through the pipeline
  • Cap effective H3 resolution to match the geocode precision tier, never index finer than the input warrants

Affected conversions

  • PointH3
