Rematch Addresses (Geocoding)

Summary

Rematches addresses in a geocoded feature class.

Rematching addresses in the geocoded feature class using the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service requires an ArcGIS Online for organizations organizational account, and it consumes credits. The organizational account must have enough credits to complete the entire rematch request.

Note:

Credit estimation is available at the top of the tool when the active portal is ArcGIS Online and the input locator is the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service.

Usage

• Use this tool after updating the locator with new data to redo the matching process with the new data to update the geocoded feature class.

• The input feature class must be a feature class created by the Geocode Addresses tool or a process in which a table of addresses was geocoded.

RematchAddresses example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the RematchAddresses function in immediate mode.

# Rematch unmatched addresses in a geocoded feature class.
# Import system modules
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/ArcTutor/Geocoding/atlanta.gdb" 

# Set local variables:
where_clause = "Status = 'U' "
geocoded_feature_class = "geocode_result"

arcpy.geocoding.RematchAddresses(geocoded_feature_class, where_clause)
