    • Python code used to download U.S. Census Bureau data for public-supply water service areas

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    This child item describes Python code used to query census data from the TigerWeb Representational State Transfer (REST) services and the U.S. Census Bureau Application Programming Interface (API). These data were needed as input feature variables for a machine learning model to predict public supply water use for the conterminous United States. Census data were retrieved for public-supply water service areas, but the census data collector could be used to retrieve data for other areas of interest. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic units from 2000-2020. Data retrieved by the census data collector code were used as input features in the public supply delivery and water use machine learning models. This page includes the following file: census_data_collector.zip - a zip file containing the census data collector Python code used to retrieve data from the U.S. Census Bureau and a README file.
