## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability build-scotts-bluff-census-demographics-api-26a14503
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest ACS 5-year demographics for Scotts Bluff County — I want to see population, median household income, poverty rate, median home value, and the 16-year trend for each of those across the county and its ten places.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official Census Bureau ACS demographic and housing statistics specifically for Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska or any of its ten constituent places, especially when longitudinal trend data (16 years) is needed. It is superior to general Census API calls because it pre-aggregates place-level data with trend series in a single call at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- No query parameters needed but malformed requests may return 400 errors
- Data may lag current year by 1-2 years due to ACS release schedules
- Places with very small populations may have suppressed or high-margin-of-error estimates
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC not provided or insufficient balance
