The API enables developers to access the 2010 Census (Summary File 1) and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 Year Estimates allowing users to view data on population, age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, households, education, income, employment, commuting, occupations, housing, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Census Bureau has developed an &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/developers\/apps\/\" target=\"_blank\">App Gallery<\/a>&#8221; which will feature applications developed using the API. Currently there are two examples in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/developers\/apps\/\" target=\"_blank\">App Gallery<\/a>\u00a0that provide examples of the potential for using the Census API. These applications include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/developers\/apps\/age\/\" target=\"_blank\">Age-Finder<\/a> &#8211; enables users to count population for single years or for a range of customized age ranges.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/developers\/apps\/age\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-uePE4oDfwiA\/UBmTmOd2BqI\/AAAAAAAADM0\/aVeMe8w-6OE\/s320\/census_api_age.jpg\" width=\"290\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pad.human.cornell.edu\/Unlisted\/uncertaintymap_fullinfo_api_B17001.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">Poverty Map<\/a> &#8211; provides poverty statistics from the American Community Survey for New York state and includes an visualization of margin of error and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pad.human.cornell.edu\/Unlisted\/uncertaintymap_fullinfo_api_B17001.cfm\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-xbMiEQfowI0\/UBmULEJuj3I\/AAAAAAAADM8\/uEbml05o2FQ\/s1600\/census_api_cornell.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Want to explore the Census API and develop your own application?
