🏢PB-02: Missing Dormitory & Multi-Unit Designators

Mississippi Benchmark: 682 verified campus/multi-unit records (502 Active) after removing 4,346 street-name false positives.
Plain-English Explanation for Election Commissioners & Citizens

Older computer scripts searched for the letters 'HALL' or 'UNIVERSITY' anywhere in an address—which accidentally flagged thousands of regular family houses on streets named 'Marshall Place', 'Halls Ferry Road', 'Halle Cove', and 'University Avenue'. We fixed that with whole-word matching so only genuine campus dorms and multi-unit buildings missing a room or apartment number are highlighted.

Step-by-Step Verification Protocol
  • 1

    Applies whole-word regular expression boundaries: \b(HALL|DORM|DORMITORY|CAMPUS|UNIVERSITY|COLLEGE|APARTMENT|APTS|TOWERS)\b.

  • 2

    Excludes residential thoroughfares (e.g., Marshall Pl, Halls Ferry Rd, University Ave, College Hill Rd) unless a multi-unit building keyword is present.

  • 3

    Isolates 682 verified dormitory and student apartment registrations (led by USM, MGCCC, MUW, MVSU, and MSU).
