Revision as of 03:06, 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?
 |
 |
 |
Step 1a - Verify City Limits
Check if your segment / place falls within the city limits by using the appropriate state's mapping resources below
|
|
|
Is the segment Within the City Limits?
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.
|
|
|
|
Is the CDP listed on the appropriate state's list?
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?
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?
|
|
|
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.
STEP 4 - Indian Reservations / Government Installations
Is the segment / place located on an Indian Reservation or Government Installation?
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))?
Options for City Name Field
Incorporated City Name
- Segment is within an Incorporated City's Limits. Please use the city name in the city field.
Census Designated Place(CDP)
- Segment is within a Census Designated Place's(CDP) boundary. Please Use this CDP in the city field.
Do not use this as the city name if it is an incorporated city.
Use Target Name in City Field
- Segment is listed in appraisers maps as the city name for multiple parcels. Please Use this target name in the city field.
Do not use this as the city name if it is an incorporated city.
Consult Regional Managment
- Listing the name of the reservation or installation in the City field may be appropriate. If you think YES, consult a State Manager or Regional Coordinator for more guidance.
Do not use this as the city name if is an incorporated city.
No City
- Segment is not within any of the possible city name options. Please check None for the city field. These aren't the droid's you are looking for.
