Description: This layer contains locational property address identifiers for the numbered thoroughfare addresses within Prince George’s County, Maryland. The main purpose of the layer is to provide address reference and searches, to support the county’s 911 service, and the production of cartographic products. Positioning: For the most part, the address points are positioned at the center of each building’s footprint, or near the center of each addressed portion of a building. Other points are placed near the center of unimproved lots. Sources of address information: The state’s tax account information, address maps and guidance from the M-NCPPC’s Development Review Division staff, and other address authorities such as the cities of Laurel and Greenbelt. Standards: The address data largely follows the Federal Geographic Data Committee’s United States Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal Address Data Standard, though additional fields are maintained for specialized needs. Further, it follows the National Emergency Number Association’s Standard Data Formats For 9-1-1 Data Exchange & GIS Mapping and postal delivery standards from the United States Postal Service. Future enhancement: A number of fields are included for possible use in future work, such as to support the creation of cartographic products or other analyses using the address information. To this end, this layer contains a sample set of landmark addresses, unit numbers, and data for labeling hundred blocks, address ranges, and miscellaneous address notes.

Copyright Text: The Maryland-National Capitol Park and Planning Commission (Commission) required the creation of a new Point Feature Class containing address information for all known Multifamily properties/buildings within Prince George’s County, Maryland. The new feature class was created using existing Multifamily address data of approximately 115,000 addresses, which was maintained and provided the Commission. The existing Multifamily addresses were geocoded using a combination of the Commission’s PGAtlas.com Composite Geocoder and manual address identification and update. This Technical Memorandum documents the process that was used to geocode the existing Multifamily addresses to generate the new Multifamily Point Feature Class.

Description: This data set approximates the boundaries of United States Postal Service (USPS) ZIP code delivery areas within Prince George's County, Maryland. The polygon boundaries are based on actual delivery areas used by mail carriers and captured to follow parcel boundaries wherever possible, with some following street centerlines, political boundaries, and topographic features. Since neither the U.S. Postal Service nor the U.S. Census Bureau maintains official ZIP code boundary files or maps, the M-NCPPC created this file in order to be able to map data aggregated by ZIP code. Planning Department staff relied on the official USPS website database and regional post office staff to delineate areas within which letter carriers delivered mail with the same ZIP code. This data set includes all the standard type ZIP codes, as well as the unique ZIP codes for the NASA Goddard Space Center, the University of Maryland College Park, the Southern Maryland Processing and Distribution Center, and the Washington Bulk Mail Center. Where the P.O.-box-only type of ZIP code differs from the surrounding standard ZIP codes, they are captured symbolically at each post office as a circular shape ten feet in diameter.
