but you can use it
we've done such visualizations before using it
just generally speaking
with Tableau 10.2 you can also upload shapefiles
@sancao TigerWeb doesn't provide KML, but you can take the payload and translate it using something like terraformer (terraformer.io) you can also download Census ZIP code tabulation areas here https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/cbf/cbf_zcta.html
can someone point me in the right direction, I'm a bit of a novice
Hi @JacobHorne, check out census.gov/developers for documentation overview... we have LOTS of data available at the county level
@/all we're starting a slack channel if you'd like to join: https://join.slack.com/t/uscensusbureau/shared_invite/MjE4MTA2OTUzMTU2LTE1MDEwODg5ODMtNzEzMjgwYTE3MA
for i.e. My city is Wenatchee,WA. if i send "820 S. Wenatchee Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801" it will give me data or true because it is within city limit, but if i send "2951 Mission Ridge Road, Wenatchee, WA 98801" it should return false. Hope you get an idea what i want.
@viraj-nimble I'm not sure I understand your request. If you're looking for a service that can tell you if an address is within a city limit, you'll not be able to find that on the Census side. We have a geocoder, but it will just return the city for an address you submit a query for
you would have to check if it matches a desired city on your end
you can use our API for that: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-1year.html
we have these from 2011 - 2016
@loganpowell Thanks, is that the same data source that is being used by google in their chart here? https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=kf7tgg1uo9ude_#!ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=population&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=country&idim=country:US&idim=place:0100460&ifdim=country&hl=en_US&dl=en_US&ind=false
@ShawnCholeva Census doesn't host data going that far back in our API, but you can hit up IPUMS for it! https://www.nhgis.org/
@loganpowell CitySDK hosted at commerce still appears to be down. I tried installing the citysdk from instructions at https://github.com/uscensusbureau/citysdk/wiki/Node-API-Server-Setup ... but I get two errors on gulp:
https://gist.github.com/ryanrussell/6cc161b84539b720b06968ae69c8e5ea
Any idea if those build instructions valid for Node 9.5.0? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

@loganpowell Thank you, I will try. Do you happen to have CitySDK installed on a server that you could post a viable node/npm/babel version from? If there's any way to append that readme with those details, it will help others and maybe prevent this Q/A from repeating itself. Meanwhile, if I can get it working, I'll post version info back to the channel. Thanks again.
Hi, I'm needing to collect the following data: State Code (2pos), City Code(3 pos), Tract (6pos), County Code (3pos), Block (3pos) MSA Code (5 pos). I have found the API @ geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/geographies/... and was able to get the State, Tract, County & Block Group. I have no idea what the 3 pos City field would be & I was unable to locate the MSA in the returned data from this API. Can someone advise me where to obtain the MSA data? Any ideas what could be the 3 pos City besides an airport code?
