Same geocoder. New look. See what’s new

Less time wrangling data.

More time on the story.

Geocode and standardize addresses. Add Census tracts, demographics, Congressional districts, and more. Get your data map-ready.

Whether you have 750 addresses or 75 million, a spreadsheet or a data feed, Geocodio can handle it on deadline and on budget.

Used by thousands of journalists

Geocodio is such an excellent and reasonably-priced resource for data journalism work.

Maybe you have data on hundreds of roadkill pickups in Philadelphia, thousands of parking tickets in Chicago, or millions of PPP loans across the US.

The addresses might be clean. (They probably aren't.)

Before the writing begins, you need to clean up those addresses, geocode them, and join them with additional data. All of that should take minutes, not days.

Journalists use Geocodio because it's easy, affordable, and stays out of the way:

  1. Upload a spreadsheet or use the Geocodio API and get back clean, standardized addresses with coordinates.
  2. Add Census tracts, demographics, FIPS codes, or Congressional districts in the same step.
  3. Download the results and bring them straight into Excel, QGIS, R, Python, Tableau, or whatever you use next.

Most geocoding providers restrict what you can do with their data. Geocodio doesn't. So you're free to store the results, publish them, or put them in a news app.

First 2,500 lookups per day free

100,000 free credits for journalists

Geocodio grants 100,000 free lookup credits to journalists to help power data-driven reporting. That covers geocoding and data enrichment for large investigative datasets. All we ask is that you cite Geocodio as a source (which you would anyway).

More than just coordinates

Cleaned addresses, Census tracts, demographics, Congressional districts, and more. All at once.

+

Most data journalism projects need more than just latitude and longitude. Geocodio can add Census FIPS codes, Census demographics, income data, Congressional districts, and more in the same request.

No separate downloads. No manual joins against Census tables.
