Super-fast Census Tract API
Get the correct census tract the first time. Smarty's US GeoReference Data stands on top of our already hyper-accurate US Rooftop Geocoding. When you enter an address, we immediately verify its accuracy and relate it to the correct census tract. Additionally, each of the returned census data points is accompanied by an accuracy rating, giving you a transparent view of the data you get back.
Getting the census tract data is one thing, but being able to relate that information to addresses and other crucial tools you're using is something else entirely. SmartyKey is a persistent unique identifier (PUID) assigned to every address in the United States. With the SmartyKey, you can easily and accurately tie the census tract data back to a location despite address changes.
