| geoprimitives Give it a longitude and latitude inside the United States and it answers with the Census FIPS codes for that point: the 2-digit state code, the 5-digit county GEOID, and the GEOID of the congressional district. Parameters go in the query string: this is a GET, there is no body. The codes are the product and the names are a courtesy. A county GEOID is the join key to essentially every geography-keyed federal dataset -- the American Community Survey, BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics, BEA regional accounts, CDC WONDER, HUD, USDA, FEMA -- and the state code is its first two digits, so one call gives you both keys already in the form those tables expect. County GEOID is also the first five digits of a tract GEOID (11 digits) and of a block group GEOID (12), so it is the prefix you would filter a tract-level extract down with. COVERAGE, stated up front because the shortfall is the point: this endpoint answers state, county and congressional district, and it does NOT answer tract, block | - | $0.01 | 0.0% | listed | call recipe → |
