How do you represent households for structures that have more than 1 household in your geodatabase.

Assuming your household layer is a point layer and you have a block of flats has 6 units thus 6 households (Hse no: 6a,6b,6c,6d,6e & 6f). Do you show 6 points in your household layer within that building footprint on your map. Is this a geographic standard

Hi Therese Gopal,

Yes, I would say: that's the way to visualize individual households within one building.

Please see the screen capture below, taken from a Registry in the Netherlands, with addresses ("Adressen") in buildings ("Gebouwen"), publicly accessible via this link BAG viewer

In the picture below, all single address dwellings (polygons) do contain a single address point. The building polygon selected in the center is, as you can see, a multi-story apartment building: 4 stories with 5 apartments each, visualized by 20 dots, neatly distributed within the polygon.

Best regards,

Egge-Jan

Hi Egge-Jan

Thank you for your prompt response.

I just wanted to clarify if what you mentioned in your reply is what the National Statistical Office ( NSO) Netherlands is using for their Census Mapping or is it the National Addressing System of the Netherlands.

Thank you

Therese
