Overview

About

Maintained by Hugh ParsonageCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Efficient tools for parsing and standardizing Australian addresses from textual data. It utilizes optimized algorithms to accurately identify and extract components of addresses, such as street names, types, and postcodes, especially for large batched data in contexts where sending addresses to internet services may be slow or inappropriate. The core functionality is built on fast string processing techniques to handle variations in address formats and abbreviations commonly found in Australian address data. Designed for data scientists, urban planners, and logistics analysts, the package facilitates the cleaning and normalization of address information, supporting better data integration and analysis in urban studies, geography, and related fields.

Changes in 0.5.2

download_latlon_data now defaults to the May 2026 G-NAF release (repo PSMA-202605).
Internal
Preserve const qualification for strstr() results to support GCC 16.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-healthyaddress

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-healthyAddress

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-healthyAddress

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
