census_area
Pack: fcc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fcc/mcp
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 codes for a point.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
lat | number | yes | Latitude in decimal degrees (e.g. 38.8976). |
lon | number | yes | Longitude in decimal degrees (e.g. -77.0365). |
censusYear | string | no | Census vintage: “2020” (default) or “2010”. |
