But its error rates are potentially much more annoying. "Doctor Martin Luther King Bolevard" is one thing. "Drive Martin Luther King Boulevard" is another. The latter will be much more difficult to find at a later date and flag for review. Maybe you won't make that particular error, but you're going to have to be really careful to avoid making any errors like it. And relying on the TIGER tags may or may not help. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the TIGER tags themselves are screwed up, based on the kinds of mistakes I've seen in TIGER data.
