Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The Census Geocoder is an address look-up tool that converts your address to an approximate coordinate (latitude/longitude) and returns information about the address range that includes the address and the census geography the address is within. The geocoder is available as a web interface and as an API (Representational State Transfer – REST – web-based service).

The tool allows you to look-up a single address or batch submit up to 1,000 addresses at a time.
