How this service works
USGS seismic design parameters for an address. Perfect for: 'seismic design category for an address', 'Ss and S1 for a site', 'earthquake design values for a property', 'NEHRP seismic parameters', 'PGA for a location'. Returns USGS NEHRP-2020 design data at a US point: Ss, S1, PGA, SDS, SD1, site class, risk category, and seismic design category where USGS has finite values. Engineering hazard data, not a safety verdict. Charge-free when the address fails or USGS has no value.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a scan ID, a timestamp, an array of property records (parcel rules, local regulations, risk signals), and any caveats about data completeness or recency.
Example use cases
Earthquake risk assessment before buying
“I'm thinking about purchasing a home in the Bay Area and I'm worried about seismic activity. Can you scan the property at 892 Oak Street, Berkeley, CA to see what seismic risks I should know about and whether the local building codes have special earthquake requirements?”
Commercial development feasibility check
“We're looking at a vacant lot in Denver for a mixed-use development project. Can you run a property scan on that ZIP code 80202 to uncover any local zoning restrictions, parcel rules, or geological hazards that could impact our construction plans or timeline?”
Investment portfolio risk screening
“I just inherited several rental properties across different states and want to understand which ones might have hidden risks. Can you do a quick Locus scan on each address to flag any seismic design issues, regulatory concerns, or local restrictions that could affect their value or my ability to rent them out?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-seismic-designWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.05) early-stage property intelligence scan covering seismic design parameters, local parcel rules, and risk signals for a US property — especially before commissioning full due diligence reports. Prefer this over general real estate APIs when seismic and local regulatory risk signals are specifically needed.
Side effects
- Missing both address and ZIP — API requires at least one input field
- Invalid or non-US ZIP code format returns no results or an error
- Address not found in local records returns an empty records array
- Payment failure (x402 flow not completed) results in 402 response blocking access
- Ambiguous address string may return partial or mismatched parcel data
