FAQ

Questions US Census Bureau owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I get census tract and block information from a single address string?

    Yes! Use the geocode_oneline capability with returntype set to 'geographies'. Provide the address and a benchmark (like 'Public_AR_Current') to receive full geographic metadata.

  • 02

    How do I find out which census area a specific GPS coordinate belongs to?

    Use the geocode_coordinates capability. Input the longitude (x) and latitude (y) along with a benchmark and vintage. The agent will return the specific census layers for that point.

  • 03

    Does this server support geocoding for addresses in Puerto Rico?

    Yes, specifically via the geocode_address_pr capability. It includes fields for 'urb' (Urbanization) and 'municipio' which are essential for accurate Puerto Rico address matching.
