Number of APIs: 4

Overview

Use a geometry, or an ID to return relevant census block boundaries. Add census block
boundaries to modern map controls or reports with tile and bounding box image requests.

A census block is the smallest geographic unit used by the United States Census Bureau used to collect population data.
census blocks are grouped into block groups, which are grouped into census tracts.
