How this service works
Census LODES workplace jobs and broad industry sectors within a radius for commercial site research. Annual block-level aggregates, with no worker demographics; not shoppers, visits, foot traffic, sales, demand, or a forecast. Charge-free when a state snapshot is missing, stale, unavailable, or no blocks fall in radius.
Output
A JSON object containing a report ID, generation timestamp, an array of employment-context records sourced from public records for the queried area, and any caveats about data completeness or limitations. The response indicates which public-record questions are answered, which remain open, and what to verify next.
Example use cases
Site selection for retail business
“I'm considering opening a store at 400 Market Street, San Francisco. Can you pull the Locus employment context scan within 500 meters and flag CNS07 retail and CNS19 food service sector activity so I know what the commercial environment looks like?”
Neighborhood labor market research
“I need to understand the employment makeup around 2200 N Clark St, Chicago — run a Locus workplace scan within 1000 meters and include CNS03 manufacturing and CNS10 information sectors.”
Property due diligence for investors
“Before we close on this industrial property at 88 Pine Ave, Newark, NJ, can you do a Locus employment context scan within 500 meters? I want to see what public records say about workplace activity nearby, especially for CNS03 and CNS06 sectors.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-workplace-employment-context?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need local employment and industry-sector context derived from public records for a specific address or geographic radius — especially useful for site selection, property due diligence, or neighborhood labor market analysis. Prefer it over general web searches when structured, record-backed employment context tied to a parcel or point is needed. If you need housing stock, tax distress, or capital improvement data instead, use the relevant sibling Locus endpoints.
Side effects
- Address not geocodable — returns empty records or error if address cannot be resolved to coordinates
- Radius out of bounds — error if radiusMeters is below 250 or above 5000
- No public records available for the queried area — returns records array as empty with relevant caveats
- Invalid industry sector code — enum validation error if unrecognized CNS code is submitted
- Malformed coordinates — error if latitude/longitude are outside valid ranges
