Find the Census geography for coordinates
Start with a map point and discover the Census-defined areas it falls within for subsequent analysis.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Geocode Coordinates
Finds Census geographic areas associated with coordinates.
Why this helps
Coordinates alone do not tell you which Census tract or county to query.
- Identify Census geographies associated with coordinates.
- Use an existing map point without first finding an address.
- Prepare locations for demographic or planning queries.
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 reverse geocode the supplied latitude and longitude and report the associated Census geographies.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real coordinate pair and review the returned geography levels.
Questions about this workflow
Which coordinates should I send?
Provide latitude and longitude in decimal degrees and identify which number is which.
Does this action return Census estimates too?
No. It identifies geographies. A separate Census data action is needed to retrieve estimates.
