Description

Code indicating the basis of assignment of latitude and longitude coordinates for an individual record from an address. This data item is helpful in identifying cases that were assigned coordinates based on incomplete information, post office boxes, or rural routes. This item is coded at the central registry, not by the reporting facility. Most of the time, this information is provided by geocoding software. Alternatively, a central registry staff member manually assigns the code. Codes are hierarchical, with lower numbers having priority.



Rationale

Spatial analysis of cancer data often requires identifying data records with a high degree of geographic precision. Researchers can use this code as a basis for selecting records with a degree of precision that is appropriate to the study.




  Codes



    
        00
        Coordinates derived from local government-maintained address points, which are based on property parcel locations, not interpolation over a street segment's address range
    
    
        01
        Coordinates assigned by Global Positioning System (GPS)
    
    
        02
        Coordinates are match of house number and street, and based on property parcel location
    
    
        03
        Coordinates are match of house number and street, interpolated over the matching street segment's address range
    
    
        04
        Coordinates are street intersections
    
    
        05
        Coordinates are at mid-point of street segment (missing or invalid building number)
    
    
        06
        Coordinates are address ZIP code+4 centroid
    
    
        07
        Coordinates are address ZIP code+2 centroid
    
    
        08
        Coordinates were obtained manually by looking up a location on a paper or electronic map
    
    
        09
        Coordinates are address 5-digit ZIP code centroid
    
    
        10
        Coordinates are point ZIP code of Post Office Box or Rural Route
    
    
        11
        Coordinates are centroid of address city (when address ZIP code is unknown or invalid, and there are multiple ZIP codes for the city)
    
    
        12
        Coordinates are centroid of county
    
    
        98
        Latitude and longitude are assigned, but coordinate quality is unknown
    
    
        99
        Latitude and longitude are not assigned, but geocoding was attempted; unable to assign coordinates based on available information
    
    
        Blank
        GIS Coordinate Quality not coded
    
    
        
         
    



  Instructions for Coding: Where multiple codes are applicable, use  the lower code value.  Note: This data item is similar in function to Census Tract Certainty  1970/80/90 [364] and Census Tract Certainty 2000 [365]. The codes for  this data item and the two census tract data items all describe how  location information was assigned based on the patient's resident  address at the time of diagnosis.  

This data item must be populated if Latitude [2352] and Longitude [2354]  are also populated.
