Hi, I will try to make this as clear as possible. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help! So I use ArcMap fairly often at work. My question is about geocoding with Census Bureau shapefiles. Basically, I have a list of 4000 addresses in an excel file. I geocode those addresses in ArcMap. And I also use County Subdivision shapefiles from the U.S. Census Bureau that I import into ArcMap. And then I do a "join" of data based off of spatial distribution. My goal is to find which county sub division each address falls into. And for some reason, I get different results every single time.
It might help to know the overall goal. There are about 1023 county sub divisions in New York State and the list of 4000 addresses that I mentioned are all addresses in NYS. And the goal is to find the number of county sub divisions that has those addresses in them. The weird thing is that it comes up to the same answer every time. Every time it says that there are 412 county sub divisions that contain at least one address. However, even though that is the same every time. The individual rows are not always the same. For example if I run it one time it might say a particular address falls inside of county sub division "01000" and when I run it again it will say that the same address falls inside a different county sub division.
Am I doing something wrong?
