Hi,

We are calculating distances between an U.S. census tract centroid and 
hospitals. A tract averages about 4,000 people, but can vary in area. 
Obviously, the centroid is likely to not be on a street, and thus a jump 
distance has to be calculated to get to a street.


Our question is what is the general algorithm for getting to the starting 
point? We definitely end up with some very large numbers (several hundred 
kilometers) on some jump distances, which seems incorrect.
