Civic Worth is in beta. It’s assembled automatically from public records and can be wrong. Check the official source before you rely on it, and tell us what’s wrong, or see what we’ve corrected.
Parcel-resolved civic data, one API call away.
Address → parcel → fifty connected datasets. Zoning, demographics, displacement risk, code violations, civic representation, and a synthesis-grade narrative section by section. Storage rights so permissive you can build a product on top.
- $0.01 / call overage
- All four /v1/* endpoints
- Permissive storage rights
One geocode → fifty datasets
Civic Worth keeps every parcel in PostGIS with a single ST_Contains query joining boundaries, demographics, code violations, transit access, and civic representation. Every response is parcel-resolved and citation-traceable.

Every response carries metadata.licenseRestrictions[] naming any field omitted under a source license. Header X-Civic-License-Restrictions tells your CDN whether to cache. The storage-rights doc spells out the rest.
