I'm trying the following call and getting nothing.
When I put it into the browser the page just hangs.
The response says the server received it and then it stops.


I'm calculating the average age of each city in the USA.

Here is the request (note I removed my key)

Newbie here. I searched the api documentation and still do not fully understand how to use it.

 

I would like to find the average house value for a given zip code from the 2010 census data. Possible?

 

If so, please provide an example URL for 09210.

 

Can the same call be made for multiple zip codes that make up an area?

 

Thanks!

I get error: the 'get' argument must be a comma separated list of variable names with the following query:

 

http://api.census.gov/data/2011/acs5?get=B20017G_000.5E&for=tract:*&in=state:72&key=[]

In the first 1990 census table, there is no variable for Amer Ind/Esk/Aleut Males 12-13 yrs. In the age by race and gender group, the variables skip from P0120131 to P0120133, so presumably P0120132 is the missing age range. Using the variable in the data call results in an unknown variable error.

Census has added the very helpful restructured subject matter item lists (eg, http://api.census.gov/data/2000/sf3/variables.html). Thank you. I am seeking an easy way to search for two or more keywords (eg, Age, Hispanic) in a nonphrase structure that will highlight rows/items that meet that condition. ... by searching on the unmodified html. Any thoughts on this? Thank you.

"$20,000-$34,999: 30 to 34 percent" (presumably H0500016) is missing. Variables jump from "$20,000-$34,999: 25 to 29 percent" to "$20,000-$34,999: 35 percent or more". Using the variable in the data call results in an unknown variable error.
