I have gone through all of the of the steps to load Tiger Geocoder Extension, but something is not working. When I run through a number of addresses, all addresses are being assigned to the what I assume is the zip code centriod.
I run the code below which coalesces the columns containing the address elements into a format required for the geocode function. The second column I normalize the address to check that the normalizer is working.
The final column I ask for the geocode for the address. As the table below shows, the geocoder seems to ignore the street address and geocodes the zip code.
Any thoughts on what I have done wrong? (I do realize that I should remove the rows with PO Box, missing addresses or that lack street number, but that is a a second step to figuring out why the street number and name are not being processed in the geocode function.)
