Find the county or county equivalent for map coordinates, with five-digit FIPS, Census boundaries and 2020–2024 ACS estimates.
Input & limits
WGS 84 coordinates within the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Uses 3,222 generalized 2024 county boundaries; this is a reference lookup, not a legal boundary determination.
What you download
Matching county polygons as GeoJSON and a lookup report with coordinates, FIPS, source and ACS values.
How to use
- Enter coordinates, search for a place or choose a point on the optional map.
- Choose Find county to load the reference and run the local point-in-polygon query.
- Review the county, ambiguity warnings and ACS estimates; download the matching boundary.
Frequently asked questions
What happens near county boundaries?
Generalized boundaries can differ from a precise survey. Boundary points can return multiple candidates; verify jurisdiction using an authoritative local source.
Why can a margin of error be unavailable?
Census special or suppressed values remain null. A missing MOE is not a zero uncertainty. ACS estimates refer to 2020–2024, not a live population count.
