U.S. Census Geocoder – Parsed Address Coordinates

Choose this endpoint when you need to geocode a U.S. street address (already parsed into street, city, state, ZIP components) into latitude/longitude coordinates and want an authoritative, government-sourced result. It is ideal for U.S.-only use cases where Census Bureau data accuracy is acceptable and cost per call matters. Prefer alternatives for international addresses or when a single free-text address string (unparsed) is the input.

• Address not found in Census database — returns empty or null coordinates
• Address outside coverage (non-U.S. country) — service does not support international addresses
• Malformed input (missing required fields like street or state) — may return error or no match
• Ambiguous address matching multiple locations — may return first match or no confident result
• Service downtime or Census API unavailability — request fails with error
