Spatial Matching near water locations

Has anyone else experienced issues when using spatial objects near coastal or water locations? I have been using Alteryx for years and there are times I just can not get a US address (centroid) to match to a census geography and typically those locations are on or near water.

kristic,

If you are just doing a simple point-in-polygon test, then an alternate that I use in this the Find Nearest tool instead of the Spatial Match tool.

Just a thought, have you used a poly-split to remove the water? Are you checking for within or touches?

Cheers,

I have not tried removing the water. Will it not match to water? I have
used many of the methods on within/ intersecting, etc..

Thank you.
