Error parsing La in city name (i.e. La Quinta) as Louisiana using .tag
I've had some addresses work fine such as...
"49000 Calle Flora, La Quinta, CA 92253 United States" (OrderedDict([('AddressNumber', '49000'), ('StreetName', 'Calle Flora'), ('PlaceName', 'La Quinta'), ('StateName', 'CA'), ('ZipCode', '92253'), ('CountryName', 'United States')]), 'Street Address')
whereas "8100 Peary Place, La Quinta, California 92253 United States" results in...
ERROR: Unable to tag this string because more than one area of the string has the same label
ORIGINAL STRING: 8100 Peary Place, La Quinta, California 92253 United States PARSED TOKENS: [('8100', 'AddressNumber'), ('Peary', 'StreetName'), ('Place,', 'StreetNamePostType'), ('La', 'StateName'), ('Quinta,', 'PlaceName'), ('California', 'StateName'), ('92253', 'ZipCode'), ('United', 'CountryName'), ('States', 'CountryName')] UNCERTAIN LABEL: StateName
After testing, it seems having a street address end in 'Place' trips up the parser.
Hi @michaeljclausen! It looks like this particular string no longer raises this error with the latest version of usaddress.
| Address part | Tag |
|---|---|
| 8100 | AddressNumber |
| Peary | StreetName |
| Place | StreetNamePostType |
| La Quinta | PlaceName |
| California | StateName |
| 92253 | ZipCode |
| United States | CountryName |
Have you come across any more examples of this issue lately? If so, a few examples would be a huge help, but no worries if not!
