Currently, noncensus munges much of the data provided in raw form from census.gov. The Census Bureau recently introduced a data API that requires an API key.

Functions should be written to query the API and download the data in the appropriate format. These data can then be transformed into a standard format (e.g., CSV, TopoJSON, GeoJSON) for consumption.
