County Boundaries
API Information
Version:v1.2.0
Region:US
Used for:Supporting jurisdictional, regional, market, infrastructure, and geospatial analysis by integrating county and county-equivalent boundaries into location-based workflows.
Overview
The LightBox County Boundaries API provides geographic boundaries for counties and county-equivalent jurisdictions across the United States. County boundaries provide important jurisdictional context for properties, infrastructure, markets, and service areas and include county-equivalent geographies such as parishes and boroughs where applicable. Through the API, developers and analysts can search for counties, retrieve individual county records and boundary geometry, perform spatial queries, and incorporate county boundaries into regional analysis, infrastructure planning, site selection, jurisdictional analysis, and other geospatial workflows.
