normalise_postcodes: Normalise postal codes
In nswgeo: Geospatial Data and Maps for New South Wales, Australia
normalise_postcodes R Documentation
Normalise postal codes
Description
Some special postcodes are used in addresses, such as codes for post office boxes.
This helper converts those to the postcode for the closest normal suburb if there
is a reasonable clear match. If there is no good match, the postcodes are left
unchanged.
Usage
normalise_postcodes(codes)
Arguments
codes
Character vector of postcodes (or coercible to one).
Details
Note that this goes a little further than the aliases that are registered with
cartographer (which only account for postcodes with no geospatial data in the ABS
dataset).
Value
Character vector of the same size as the input, but with the normalised postcodes.
Examples
normalise_postcodes(c(1685, 2000, 1010, 2129, 2145))
