census_block
Resolve a US latitude/longitude (decimal degrees) to its Census block, county, and state FIPS codes and names. Returns the 15-digit block FIPS, 5-digit county FIPS, 2-digit state FIPS, state code/name, and a bounding box. Pairs with the US Census API (FIPS codes are its join keys). Coordinates outs…
census_area
Resolve a US latitude/longitude (decimal degrees) to its full Census area record: block/county/state FIPS + names plus 2020 block population and FCC market-area codes (BEA, BTA, CMA, EAG, MEA, MTA, PEA, REA, RPC, VPC). Richer than census_block; use when you need population or FCC licensing market c…
county_for_point
Lightweight reverse geocode: return just the county and state for a US latitude/longitude (decimal degrees) — county FIPS + name, state FIPS + code + name. Convenience wrapper over the FCC block-find service for when you only need the containing county/state, not the full block record.
