Comment(by woodbri):

 I have 756,778 segments in stdaddr and 757,766 in tiger for MA. The
 difference is 1000+ that did not standardize. I simple left join and
 distinct on the name will show you the records that need to be considered
 when updating the the lexicon and/or rules.

 I store my tiger records as single-sided denormalized records. So if a
 segment has 4 names and 3 alt address ranges, and 2 placenames, I have
 4*3*2 records for it. Each of my tiger records has a side field so I can I
 can offset if needed. My goal was to preprocess the data to make the
 geocoder design simple and straight forward.
