API calls are only returning some of the counties in a state. For example, this call will only return 53 of the 254 counties in Texas.

I'm working on a school project with 2010 Census data.

Currently, we are getting tract-level data using codes from http://api.census.gov/data/2010/sf1/variables.json to get data.

For example, to find the white 65-year old males in a county's tracts, we make the API call:
http://api.census.gov/data/2010/sf1?key=[key]&get=PCT012I068,NAME&for=tract:*&in=state:08+county:059

However, when making the same call at a block... more »

Hi All,

The API has incredible functionality for query/results within the nested US Census Bureau Geography (e.g. getting data for all the tracts in a county or all the block groups within a track).

However, it does not appear to support queries that run across the same geography very well.

For instance It does not appear to allow me to query the same parameter (e.g. race) in Tract A within County B and Tract C... more »

Hi All,

I have been working on my application and one of the things I would like to do is query the same variable on multiple geographies. For instance, get the total population at the Block Group, Tract, County, State, and Nation.

 

Right now, it is my understanding that this would represent five different calls to the API.

 

Can this be done in one call to the API ?

I am trying to get information on disability information per zip code?
http://api.census.gov/data/2000/sf3?key=(key)&get=P041001,NAME&for=zip+code+tabulation+area:(5 digit zip code)&in=state:(numerical identifier for states)
It is returning nothing however when I use tract in place of zip code tabulation area it works. So I am wondering if it just doesn't work by zip code or possibly I am doing something wrong.
I am currently... more »

I've seen multiple links to a dead URL for a list of states and their codes. This needs to be corrected.

I want to know if there is any way to access the population of individual country using the API.

Please note that the 2012 data profiles may return the following in place of data. We will update the documentation on the website.

An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either... more »
