This feature class contains only the unique ID (LicenseNumber) that is used to relate this feature class to the associated object class containing the remaining attribute information. To create this feature class, the following process was used: a text file was downloaded from the DHS Web site (http://www.michigan.gov/dhs/0,1607,7-124-5455_27716_27718-82321--,00.html) on April 20, 2010. The text file was imported into Access. A copy of the table was made for geocoding puposes, and some of the attributes changed to get a better hit rate when geocoding (e.g., the zip codes were changed to 5 digit numbers, and obvious spelling errors in the road names were fixed). The table was first geocoded to parcel centers, then geocoded to the road centerline. Point features from the previous feature class were copied over for some of remaining unmatched addresses. Of the 1208 records, 1201 (99%) of them geocoded using one of these methods. DHS's list of day care facilities is updated on a daily basis. Oakland County plans to update their geocoded file on a yearly basis.</div>
