Map showing coverage of local data.
What is a local data search?
You can retrieve local data, also known as advanced demographics, to get detailed information for specific countries, counties, cities, and locations. Each individual data field is represented by an analysis variable, and analysis variables are organized into data categories that you can explore interactively with the Analysis Variable Finder and Data Collection Finder.
How to access the data
To get advanced demographics data, you use the enrich operation and specify the analysis or data you want returned.
Below is a list of the high-level data categories that are available. You can use analysis variables or data collections within these categories to get data.

Key parameters
| Name | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
analysis | Returns a subset of attributes from one or more data collections. | ["food.X1131_ |
data | Returns a preassembled list of analysis variables curated for specific countries and regions. | [educationalattainment] |

Additional parameters:The add returns percent, average and index attributes. The intersecting parameter returns information about administrative boundaries intersected by an input point. The use parameter provides a performance hint to the service when all input study areas lie within the same country or region.
Code examples
Find local facts (1 mile buffer)
In this example, the data parameter is used to return a different set of facts. With the search box, select a pre-defined location or click on the map to create a 1 mile ring buffer around a point. Facts are returned from the requested data collection, Household Totals.
