This API returns the geographies specified by a geography name (e.g., Washington) of a specific geography type (e.g., congressional district) within the entire United States.

This API returns the US Census Block geography ID information given a passed Latitude and Longitude.

This archive reproduces a figure titled "Figure 3.2 Boone County population distribution" from Wang and vom Hofe (2007, p.60). The archive provides a Jupyter Notebook that uses Python and can be run in Google Colaboratory. The workflow uses the Census API to retrieve data, reproduce the figure, and ensure reproducibility for anyone accessing this archive.The Python code was developed in Google Colaboratory, or Google Colab for short, which is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of JupyterLab and streamlines package installation, code collaboration, and management. The Census API is used to obtain population counts from the 2000 Decennial Census (Summary File 1, 100% data). Shapefiles are downloaded from the TIGER/Line FTP Server. All downloaded data are maintained in the notebook's temporary working directory while in use. The data and shapefiles are stored separately with this archive. The final map is also stored as an HTML file.The notebook features extensive explanations, comments, code snippets, and code output. The notebook can be viewed in a PDF format or downloaded and opened in Google Colab. References to external resources are also provided for the various functional components. The notebook features code that performs the following functions:install/import necessary Python packagesdownload the Census Tract shapefile from the TIGER/Line FTP Serverdownload Census data via CensusAPI manipulate Census tabular data merge Census data with TIGER/Line shapefileapply a coordinate reference systemcalculate land area and population densitymap and export the map to HTMLexport the map to ESRI shapefileexport the table to CSVThe notebook can be modified to perform the same operations for any county in the United States by changing the State and County FIPS code parameters for the TIGER/Line shapefile and Census API downloads. The notebook can be adapted for use in other environments (i.e., Jupyter Notebook) as well as reading and writing files to a local or shared drive, or cloud drive (i.e., Google Drive).

Contents

A broad and generalized selection of 2014-2018 US Census Bureau 2018 5-year American Community Survey population data estimates, obtained via Census API and joined to the appropriate geometry (in this case, New Mexico Census tracts). The selection is not comprehensive, but allows a first-level characterization of total population, male and female, and both broad and narrowly-defined age groups. In addition to the standard selection of age-group breakdowns (by male or female), the dataset provides supplemental calculated fields which combine several attributes into one (for example, the total population of persons under 18, or the number of females over 65 years of age). The determination of which estimates to include was based upon level of interest and providing a manageable dataset for users.The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide, continuous survey designed to provide communities with reliable and timely demographic, housing, social, and economic data every year. The ACS collects long-form-type information throughout the decade rather than only once every 10 years. The ACS combines population or housing data from multiple years to produce reliable numbers for small counties, neighborhoods, and other local areas. To provide information for communities each year, the ACS provides 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimates. ACS 5-year estimates (multiyear estimates) are “period” estimates that represent data collected over a 60-month period of time (as opposed to “point-in-time” estimates, such as the decennial census, that approximate the characteristics of an area on a specific date). ACS data are released in the year immediately following the year in which they are collected. ACS estimates based on data collected from 2009–2014 should not be called “2009” or “2014” estimates. Multiyear estimates should be labeled to indicate clearly the full period of time. While the ACS contains margin of error (MOE) information, this dataset does not. Those individuals requiring more complete data are directed to download the more detailed datasets from the ACS American FactFinder website. This dataset is organized by Census tract boundaries in New Mexico. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2010 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.

This is a cobbled together dataset of official U.S. city names and place names recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. I originally used this in a spell checker for user input.

The names were collected in multiple stages using the US Census API and later combined into one dataset. There are about more than 48,000 city and place names in this dataset.

During the collection process, I learned that finding city names is not as straight forward as I thought. For example, some cities are "incorporated" and other areas that we think are cities, are actually considered "populated places".

This dataset contains census tract-level social determinants of health (SDOH) measures from the American Community Survey 5-year data for the entire United States—50 states and the District of Columbia. Data were downloaded from data.census.gov using Census API and processed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. The project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in conjunction with the CDC Foundation. These measures complement existing PLACES measures, including PLACES SDOH measures (e.g., health insurance, routine check-up). These data can be used together with PLACES data to identify which health and SDOH issues overlap in a community to help inform public health planning.

This dataset, sourced from the United States Census Bureau, presents time series data at the county, ZCTA, and state levels. It includes a select number of variables from the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-Year Estimates, ACS 5-Year Estimates, and the Decennial Census (SF1). A key feature of this dataset is the harmonization of variable codes across the different years and surveys, ensuring consistency and comparability over time. As a historical dataset designed for analysis, the cross year harmonization facilitates tracking changes over time and is useful for studies that look at long-term effects in areas like epidemiology, environmental health, and public policy. The ACS 1-Year Estimates offer annual insights into current conditions, aiding timely analyses. The ACS 5-Year Estimates provide increased statistical reliability for analyzing smaller populations and areas by pooling data over five years. The Decennial Census, with datasets for 2000, 2010, and 2020 available through the Census API, gives a decadal population count, serving as a foundational element for longitudinal studies.
