Parsing Addresses

Addresses are parsed and standardized based on the United States domain. The default value, used when no domain is specified, is the United States. Addresses are parsed into the following components (with the actual field name in parentheses).

• House number, rural route identifier, P.O. box number (Address.HouseNumber)

• Match street name, rural route descriptor, P.O. box descriptor (Address.StreetName)

• Street direction (Address.StreetDir)

• Street type (Address.StreetType)

After being parsed, the street name is also phonetically encoded. The phonetic version is stored in the Address.StreetNamePhoneticCode field.
