Get Census geography codes from an address

Give Notis an address and receive its coordinates and Census geography identifiers, ready for a location-based decision.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Geocode Address for Census Geographies

Returns coordinates and Census geography identifiers for an address.

Why this helps

Finding the Census tract or block group for an address can interrupt an otherwise simple research task.

  • Resolve an address to Census geography identifiers.
  • Include coordinates with the returned geography information.
  • Prepare locations for a follow-up Census data query.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agenty and Census bureau once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to geocode each supplied address and report the returned coordinates and Census geography codes.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real address and check the returned geography identifiers.

Questions about this workflow

Can I send multiple addresses?

This workflow uses the single-address Census geography geocoder. Use one address per run.

Does geocoding return demographic estimates?

No. It returns coordinates and geography identifiers. Use those identifiers in a separate Census data query.
