Which term describes an address that requires manual plotting after geocoding?

• A. Address Correction
• B. Geocode Kickout
• C. Kickback
• D. Plot Request

Answer: (B)

An address that needs manual plotting after geocoding is described as a geocode kickout. When geocoding tries to turn an address into coordinates, some records don’t get a confident match or any match at all. Those problematic ones are “kicked out” from automatic processing and require human intervention to place them on the map. The term specifically combines the idea of the geocoding step with the consequence that the record can’t be automatically resolved and must be plotted manually. This differs from address correction, which is about fixing the input to improve automatic geocoding, and from a plot request, which would simply be asking to plot something rather than describing its post-geocoding status.
