[Qgis-us-user] Fwd: Census Geocoder - Batch Geocoding & API Now Available

[Randal Hale]

Of course if I had the skills to do one - this appears to be ripe for a 
plugin to QGIS against the US Census Bureau's service.....

  Census Geocoder - Batch Geocoding & API Now Available

The Census Bureau has released a new geocoding tool

that allows users to find the census geographic areas that street 
addresses or address coordinates are located within.  The tool is 
available as an API and a web form.  In addition to a single address 
look-up, the tool also allows users to submit batches of up to 1,000 
addresses at a time.

The information in the geocoder comes from the Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER 
database, which holds our geographic information used for censuses and 
surveys. The address ranges used in the geocoder are the same address 
ranges found in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, which are derived from the 
Master Address File (MAF).

Additional information, including documentation, descriptions of the 
data in the geocoder, and FAQs are included on our geocoder website
