Point-in-Polygon Census Intersection

Overview

The Point-in-Polygon Census Intersection Web Services allow you to associate census variables with geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). The services available on this site allow a user to process a single coordinate as well as a database of records in batch.

If you encounter any problems or find any cases where the software fails, we would like to hear about it so we can work to improve the quality of the services. Please let us know.
