Code indicating the basis of assignment of latitude and longitude coordinates for an individual record from an address. This data item is helpful in identifying cases that were assigned coordinates based on incomplete information, post office boxes, or rural routes. Most of the time, this information is provided by a geocoding vendor service. Alternatively, a central registry staff manually assigns the code. This item is not coded by the hospital. Codes are hierarchical, with lower numbers having priority. Spatial analysis of cancer data often requires identifying data records with a high degree of locational precision. Researchers can use this code as a basis for selecting records with a degree of precision that is appropriate to the study. .. NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11
