Web Service for State, County, Place FIPS Codes from Address

software-recommendationsweb service

I have been searching for a few days to find a web service that will provide the State, County, and Place FIPS codes from an address input. Most of the services I've found only provide a State, County, and Census block code.

For example, for the address 4139 S 143rd Cir, Omaha, NE 68137 would return:

State: 31
County: 05
Place: 537000

It may be a two step process. Geocode the address, get the xy from the geocode result and then send the xy to a county web service with FIPS. You will want to intersect the point.

http://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Census2010/State_County/MapServer/1/query?text=&geometry={"x":-122,"y": 41,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}}&geometryType=esriGeometryPoint&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&returnGeometry=false&outFields=STATE,COUNTY&f=json

Returns:

{"displayFieldName":"BASENAME","fieldAliases":{"STATE":"STATE","COUNTY":"COUNTY"},"fields":[{"name":"STATE","type":"esriFieldTypeString","alias":"STATE","length":2},{"name":"COUNTY","type":"esriFieldTypeString","alias":"COUNTY","length":3}],"features":[{"attributes":{"STATE":"06","COUNTY":"089"}}]}
