US Place Statistics Answers (Plain-English Question)

omnial/us-place-statistics-answers

Answers a plain-English question about official US demographic and economic statistics for a US place, such as a city. Returns a one-sentence answer, a success flag, the question echoed back, and one row per place matched with the place's full name and the data year. For a poverty-rate question, each row also carries the poverty rate as a percentage and the indicator's label; figures for any other indicator are not returned as separate fields.

Pricing

Every real charge, itemised. A model that quietly omits one is a slow financial leak, so nothing here is rolled up, and a charge that only applies to some inputs says so rather than being added in.

Prices in this catalog are the provider's own list price, not your bill: Omnial MCP charges provider cost plus a platform markup on top, so what you are charged is higher than the figure shown. For the exact amount a specific call will cost, run omnial_execute with dry_run: true; that number includes the markup and is what we hold while the call runs. It is a quote, not a cap on the charge.

This tool's catalog entry does not record how its final bill is determined, so we will not tell you whether its cost is fixed before the call or reported by the provider afterwards. Either way what is held is a quote rather than a cap: you are charged what the call actually costs, bounded at 2x the quote.
