Abstract:
This dataset contains 2003 Registered Daycare Facility Information for the State of Florida. The data contains selected fields denoting the physical address, facility type, and capacity information for daycares located in Florida.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy is relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the originl data layer
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The following dataset was Geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads. Address information was obtained via the FDCF website. The data was reformatted using a text editor in order to create data that could be imported into excel. From this data, dbfs were created that could then be used for Geocoding/Address Matching.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

Process_Description:
This data was originally released by the Florida Department of Children and Families (FDCF)in 2003. GeoPlan downloaded the data in text file format from the FDCF website <http://www5.myflorida.com/cf_web/myflorida2/healthhuman/childcare/programform.html>. The textfile was first converted to dbf format, then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads, and finally converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.
