FS::Misc::Geo - routines to fetch geographic information

CLASS METHODS

get_censustract_ffiec LOCATION YEAR

Given a location hash (see FS::location_Mixin) and a census map year, returns a census tract code (consisting of state, county, and tract codes) or an error message.

get_district LOCATION METHOD

Returns a hash reference containing the following fields:

The intent is that you can assign this to an FS::cust_main_county object and insert it if there's not yet a tax rate defined for that district.

get_district will die on error.

Given 'address1' and 'address2' strings, extract the sublocation part (from either one) and return it. If the sublocation was found in ADDRESS1, also return ADDRESS2 (cleaned up for postal standards) as it's assumed to contain something relevant.
