Analyze county demographics

Use `get_demographics_by_county` to grab racial and ethnic breakdowns for every county in a given state. This means you can map out exactly where different populations live. You'll get the data needed for market segmentation or policy research without leaving your machine.

Compare population across cities

The `get_population_by_city` tool pulls population counts for any incorporated city or Census Designated Place. Need to see how growth varies between nearby towns? This is it. You can quickly compare the size of places within a state, which is useful when you're scoping out a project area.

Calculate state totals and age

Run `get_population_by_state` to get total population figures plus median age for all 50 states and DC. It’s an essential check before running any diversity analysis. This tool gives you a high-level view of the US, letting you see the big picture trends across state lines.
