Census Geocoder - Batch Geocoding & API Now Available

The Census Bureau has released a new geocoding tool that allows users to find the census geographic areas that street addresses or address coordinates are located within. The tool is available as an API and a web form. In addition to a single address look-up, the tool also allows users to submit batches of up to 1,000 addresses at a time.

The information in the geocoder comes from the Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER database, which holds our geographic information used for censuses and surveys. The address ranges used in the geocoder are the same address ranges found in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, which are derived from the Master Address File (MAF).

Additional information, including documentation, descriptions of the data in the geocoder, and FAQs are included on our geocoder website.
