Geocoding School Locations

Here's a preview of the online map. Be sure to check it out at the link below!

This week, we learned how to use csv data to create feature layers in ArcGIS Pro. Part of this included gathering locations of schools in Manatee County from the Florida Department of Educations website and geocoding the locations using data from the US Census. First I copied the school locations from the website and created a nice excel document with the school name, type of school, address, and phone number. Then I created the ArcGIS database with the census data (which I reprojected into State Plane projections). I used the Geocoding tool in the software to calculate the locations based on the addresses. A few didn't work because they had PO boxes, addresses outside of the county, or the process didn't recognize the road. I found the locations for these and assigned them manually. Instead of sharing the map as an image, we shared the maps to ArcGIS online. My map can be viewed here.
