Get ACS 5-year estimates for an address

Turn a checked address into a focused neighborhood profile using the ACS variables you care about.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get ACS 5-Year Estimates

Retrieves five-year American Community Survey estimates for geographic areas.

Why this helps

Getting neighborhood statistics means verifying the address, identifying the right geography, and assembling the right Census variables.

  • Start with an address checked by Addressfinder.
  • Use the address geography to request ACS 5-year estimates.
  • Receive a concise summary of the requested variables.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and Census bureau once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to verify the submitted address, identify its Census geography, and retrieve ACS 5-year estimates for the user-specified variables and year.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real address and a short list of variables.

Questions about this workflow

Which estimates will it retrieve?

The workflow uses the variables and year you specify. The available geography and variables depend on the selected ACS dataset.

Can it choose the variables for me?

You can ask Notis to help identify variables, but provide the research question or measures you need. The workflow should report any missing variable or geography details.

Why use a webhook?

A webhook lets an external tool or backend send an address and any requested ACS details to start the lookup.
