Citywide address database

At a glance

  • What: Effort to create one canonical source of address data for Orleans Parish, since each city department keeps its own address and street lists.

  • Proposal: addressing governance using existing staff, with 911 as the final authority on valid addresses.
  • Uses: census address review, Sewerage and Water Board meter reconciliation, fee adjustments, and sanitation unit eligibility.
