Blockface
Release date: November 15, 2017
Definition
A blockface represents one side of a street between two consecutive features intersecting that street. The features can be other streets or boundaries of standard geographic areas. Blockfaces are used for generating blockface representative points, which in turn are used for geocoding and census data extraction when the street and address information are available.
For more information on blockface, consult the Dictionary, Census of Population, 2016.
