TIGER Geocoder
A PL/PgSql based geocoder written for the TIGER/Line census data.
http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/extras/tiger_geocoder/
Note the version currently in PostgIS 1.5 and below is the old one that uses pre-Tiger 2007 proprietary format.
To get the one that uses the new shapefile format was redone by Steve Frost's for 2008 dataset. That version is in Steve Frost's GIT repository

We are currently working on upgrading Steve's version to work with Tiger 2009 and Tiger 2010 datasets. The Tiger 2009 is functional. In the Tiger 2010 the census made structural changes to the tables so they slightly different from the 2009 column format. We are currently working on writing loader scripts to load in this data and then revise scripts accordingly to work with it. Both of these will be merged into the PostGIS 2.0 codebase once cleaned up and packaged as part of the PostGIS 2.0 release. These are currently in our spike workspace.
