I have Census Blocks Code data (15 digits code) and need to get corresponding street names and addresses in NYC. What is the best source of such information?

Unfortunately it's possible to get block code if you know its address with this geocoder but not vice versa.– AndreyApr 10, 2017 at 8:45

You could do this with a few lines of R, taking the spatial over of the roads file and the block file, then iterating through the list and dumping it to a nice table. I'm not sure of any other way to do this.

I saw somewhere that Tiger/Lines files for edges should be used to get addresses. Is it also correct? Could you please advise some link to the file with road information?– AndreyApr 12, 2017 at 6:27

Have you looked here: census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-line.html Apr 13, 2017 at 4:03

1Yes. But I'm a bit confused because this link e-education.psu.edu/natureofgeoinfo/c4_p8.html indicates that the Tiger files with edges should be used (see www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2016/EDGES) instead of road data. Also there is info at catalog.data.gov/dataset/… stating that AddrFeat Tiger files are even better. Both type of files have necessary fields to create Address Locator. So may be you can advise which file should be used: road, edges or addrfeat?– AndreyApr 13, 2017 at 19:38
If you are fine with human-readable, you can find the block maps at https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10map/GUBlock/st36_ny/place/p3651000_new_york/.

I just found there some maps in pdf files but there are no texts with addresses there.– AndreyApr 13, 2017 at 19:36
