Hi  Scaggs ,

 

When working with adress and the map visualization you need to be sure that you have in context the full details, meaning that you need to do hierarchy based on the country, state, city, has I believe you have done by your description.

 

However in my experience with this type of information the lowest level of adress or zip code can have a big impact if the information is not perfectly matching the bing source that is used for the map visualizations.
