It exposes the Census API through simple functions like onelineaddress(), address(), and coordinates(), and returns results as CensusResult objects that preserve the Census's interpretation of your query. The package also includes a command-line tool for geocoding single addresses or batch-processing CSV files.\n\nThe wrapper supports both \"locations\" mode (structured address data) and \"geographies\" mode (Census geographic boundaries and attributes). You can configure which Census benchmark and vintage to use via the CensusGeocode class if you need historical or alternative data. It depends only on requests and requests-toolbelt, making it lightweight to install and use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to geocode US addresses or map them to Census geographies. The package is stable, has low install friction, and directly wraps an official Census API. The GPLv3 license is a blocker for proprietary applications. Maintenance is aging (last release 187 days ago), so verify that Census API changes haven't broken the wrapper before deploying to production."},"id":"censusgeocode","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/censusgeocode","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/censusgeocode.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/censusgeocode/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"censusgeocode","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Thin Python wrapper for the US Census Geocoder"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":219749,"position":9320,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.3"}
