I'm looking for fields like Tract, Block, Fips State, County, Place, MSA, CBSA, etc..
I want to do a batch job to process many addresses and get this data back per address.
Is this possible with ArcGIS?
Thank you.
Yes it is possible with ArcGIS.
Using ArcGIS Desktop you could:
1. create point features from your address data.

2. use a spatial join to pass desired polygon data attributes to the point data created from your address data.

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for your help.
I haven't purchased any of the software yet.
1. What software would I need to be able to do geocoding for thousands of addresses?
2. Do I need specific files per state to get all the census info I asked about plus other data?
My data covers the entire united states.
3. What format can my address file be in so I can do batch processing?
Thank you so much I appreciate all your help. I'm trying to research ArcGIS as much as I can to get all my questions answered. Can I send you a list of fields I need and see if they are all available through ArcGIS?
Thank you,
Jerry
Jerry,
I might be a good idea to contact your local Esri office to get the information that you are looking for.
