arcpygris is an ArcGIS Pro python toolbox that allows users to directly download TIGER/Line or cartographic boundaries from the US Census Bureau into an ArcGIS Pro project.
Designed as a port of the tigris R package and pygris Python package for ArcGIS Pro, arcpygris aims to make the process of working with Census geographies within ArcGIS Pro more seamless. Layers downloaded into a geodatabase are also attached with metadata detailing the layer's provenance and query parameters used to generate it, thereby improving the reproducibility of the project.
