State Socioeconomic Profile Reporting for Claude Code

For CI/CD pipelines, use `get_state_profile`. This tool generates a complete socioeconomic snapshot of any state in one command. It includes population, income, housing, and demographic data. You can automate checks by piping this output into another script that validates specific metrics, like ensuring the median household income exceeds a certain threshold.

Census Data Extraction via Claude Code

The `query_census` tool lets you run custom API queries against any dataset and variable. You just specify the ACS variables (e.g., B01003_001E) and geography, year, and filter in a script. This is ideal for scripting complex data pulls that require combining multiple years or datasets from the Census records.

County-Level Deep Dive via Claude Code

To analyze specific areas, use `get_county_profile`. It provides a full profile for one county. You can loop through state FIPS codes and execute this tool to process thousands of counties sequentially.
