tigerweb_list_layers — List the queryable TIGER/Line geography layers in a Census TIGERweb ArcGIS service — census tracts, block groups, 2020 blocks, ZCTAs, congressional and state legislative districts, school districts, tribal areas, places, counties, PUMAs. Call this FIRST to get the layer_id that tigerweb_query needs; layer numbers differ between vintages, so never reuse one from memory.
tigerweb_query — AUTHORITATIVE for US Census geography records: query any TIGERweb layer with an ArcGIS WHERE clause and get the matching geographies with their GEOID, name, FIPS components, land/water area and interior point. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions like "every census tract in Cook County", "all ZCTAs in Rhode Island", or "the GEOID of this school district". Get layer_id from tigerweb_list_layers.
tigerweb_geography_at_point — Given a latitude/longitude in the United States, return every TIGER/Line geography containing it in one call — state, county, census tract, block group, 2020 block, ZCTA, place, county subdivision, school districts, urban area, PUMA and tribal area — each with its GEOID. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH when you have a coordinate and need the geography stack around it.
