Delivered geospatial data workflow

Urban Geocoded Dataset for Guatemala City

A replicable workflow for turning selected urban areas into a structured, traceable and enriched geocoded dataset.

Problem and approach

Urban address data can be incomplete, fragmented or inconsistent. For a Zona 25 pilot in Guatemala City, BGPD used populated-area selection, systematic point generation, controlled reverse geocoding, batch manifests, result classification, deduplication and neighbor-based enrichment.

  • Direct official addresses remain separate from inferred nearby references
  • Run manifests support restartability and duplicate prevention
  • Administrative and contextual attributes are enriched where appropriate

Documented pilot metrics

The following figures describe the completed first pass and are published with their contextual labels; nearby references are not direct official addresses.

Unique points
27,382

Processed and validated in the pilot.

Direct matches
8,795

Points with direct official-address matches.

Partial results
876

Points with partial address information.

Official addresses
611

Unique official addresses represented.

Nearby references
4,751

Additional nearby-address references, not direct matches.

Usable references
14,422

Points with a usable address reference.

Coverage
52.67%

Address-reference coverage after enrichment.

Duplicate point IDs
0

No duplicate point IDs in the completed first pass.

Outputs and boundaries

The delivered dataset separates direct, partial, missing and nearby-reference results so that users can assess coverage and provenance. It can support urban analytics, logistics, planning, market intelligence and field operations; it does not make an inferred nearby reference equivalent to a verified official address.
