census_bureau_fetch_aggregate_data

Fetch aggregate data from a Census dataset

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
year	string	Yes	—	Vintage year of the dataset (e.g. 2022, 2020, 2010)
dataset_group	string	Yes	—	Dataset group (e.g. ‘acs’ for American Community Survey, ‘dec’ for Decennial Census, ‘pep’ for Population Estimates)
dataset_name	string	Yes	—	Dataset name within the group (e.g. ‘acs5’ for ACS 5-Year, ‘acs1’ for ACS 1-Year, ‘pl’ for PL 94-171, ‘dhc’ for DHC)
get	string	Yes	—	Comma-separated list of variable names to retrieve (e.g. ‘NAME,B01001_001E’ for geography name and total population). Use ‘group(B01001)’ to get all variables in a group.
for	string	Yes	—	Geography level and optional FIPS code to query (e.g. ‘state:’ for all states, ‘county:’ for all counties, ‘state:06’ for California, ‘tract:*’ for all tracts)
in	string	No	—	Parent geography filter to narrow results (e.g. ‘state:06’ when querying counties in California, ‘state:06+county:001’ when querying tracts). Required for sub-state geographies.
UCGID	string	No	—	Uniform Census Geography Identifier for precise geographic selection (alternative to for/in)
