addr vectors in R

The addr package provides the addr R object, which stores standardized address tags, but acts like a usual vector in R:

addr(c("3333 Burnet Ave Cincinnati OH 45229", "202 Riva Ridge Ct Cincinnati OH 45140"))
#> 3333 Burnet Avenue Cincinnati OH 45229 202 Riva Ridge Court Cincinnati OH 45140

Under the hood, an addr vector keeps a record of the tagged and standardized address components so that they can be used with other functions. To inspect or use them directly:

addr(c("3333 Burnet Ave Cincinnati OH 45229", "202 Riva Ridge Ct Cincinnati OH 45140")) |>
  as.data.frame()
#>   street_number street_name street_type       city state zip_code
#> 1          3333      burnet      avenue cincinnati    oh    45229
#> 2           202  riva ridge       court cincinnati    oh    45140

or

addr(c("3333 Burnet Ave Cincinnati OH 45229", "202 Riva Ridge Ct Cincinnati OH 45140")) |>
  as.character()
#> [1] "3333 Burnet Avenue Cincinnati OH 45229"  
#> [2] "202 Riva Ridge Court Cincinnati OH 45140"
