Revision as of 03:03, 6 December 2015

Use the following checklist step-by-step to determine whether the "City" field for a segment or place should contain a name or be marked as "None":


Mailing Address for City field in Waze

NOTE: Mailing addresses alone are not a determining factor for filling in the City field; city limits are. For example, everyone who lives in Leon County has a "Tallahassee, FL" mailing address, but not everyone in Leon County lives within the incorporated city limits of Tallahassee. Most unincorporated county areas should have the City field checked as "None", unless they meet one of the following exceptions.

Start

Step 1 : Incorporated Municipality

Is the segment within a city on the list of legally incorporated municipalities below?

Alabama Incorporated Cities
Georgia Incorporated Cities
Florida Incorporated Cities

YES: Step 1a

NO: Step 2





















Step 1a - Verify City Limits

Check if your segment / place falls within the city limits by using the appropriate state's mapping resources below

Alabama Mapping Resources
Georgia Mapping Resources
Florida Mapping Resources

Is the segment Within the City Limits?

Yes: Incorporated City Limits

No: Step 2





















Step 2 - Census Designated Place (CDP)

Click the image below for the state you are researching and scroll to the bottom. The list of places includes all Incorporated Cities and all Census Designated Places. You will find CDP after each Census Designated Place. DO NOT assume these boundaries are correct for Incorporated Cities. Only use these files to find the boundaries for Census Designated Places.

Alabama CDP Maps
Georgia CDP Maps
Florida CDP Maps

Is the CDP listed on the appropriate state's list?

Yes: Step 2a

No: Step 3





















Step 2a: Determine Geographic Boundaries

The geographic boundaries of CDP's can be viewed from the links above by clicking on the correct county, or they can be overlaid on WME by following the presentation Overlay CDP's on WME by t0cableguy. The PDF's or the shapefiles provided by the census.gov websiteare the ONLY approved source for CDP boundaries.

Is the segment within a Census Designated Place listed below the state map in the links or files provided above?

Yes: CDP

No: Step 3





















STEP 3 - County Property Appraiser

If you look up a parcel for the segment using the appropriate Property Appraiser's website does it list the target name as a valid address?

Alabama Mapping Resources
Georgia Mapping Resources
Florida Mapping Resources

YES: Step 3a

NO: Step 4





















Step 3a: Determine boundaries of target name Try to determine the boundaries for use of that target name by checking subsequent parcels in the area or checking county GIS sites for your state provided above.

Yes: Target Name

No: Step 4





















STEP 4 - Indian Reservations / Government Installations

Is the segment / place located on an Indian Reservation or Government Installation?

Yes: Consult

No: Step 5





















STEP 5 - Other Place of Significance.

There are many other Census Designated Places and points of interest throughout the Southeast Regsion, but many are small. Does your target location have a major cultural significance (e.g. tourist attraction, county seat, travel milestone (e.g. Yeehaw Junction))?

YES: Consult

NO: No City
