Journalism

Geocode a records request, join it to Census and district data, and publish the map without a licence question.

The job

A spreadsheet of inspections, evictions, permits or incidents arrives with addresses. The story needs a map and a comparison across neighbourhoods, districts or demographics, by deadline.

How geocode.net fits

  • Drop the file on the spreadsheet geocoder: no code, nothing uploaded to us, coordinates and accuracy types appended, map preview before download.
  • Tick Census and Congressional district and the join to ACS tables and district comparisons is done in the same pass.
  • The accuracy_type column is your methodology note. Rooftop and street-range points are mappable; ZIP centroids get flagged and fixed before publication.
  • Public-domain index, so the published map and the data behind it carry no share-alike or re-geocoding obligations.
  • 10,000 free lookups a month covers most single stories; the free plan needs no card.
