People often rely on census data, and it's not always the easiest to navigate. A Parsons connector would be great to help individuals better grab the census data they need, more easily!

Detailed Description

A list of all available APIs are here: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets.html

I imagine if we were able to get a class going with one, it'd be a great setup for folks to add additional APIs. I'd recommend perhaps starting with the American Community Survey.

Context

Possible Implementation

Priority

Low - purely nice to have!

Would this have any functionality different from cenpy and pigris? @elyse-weiss

Thank you so much, @Charlie-Kramer! I've assigned the issue to you. I highly recommend taking a look at the new connector guide before you get started - and I'm also happy to answer any questions you've got. :)

Oh yes #978! I'd remembered you'd done a connector but not that it was this one. I'll close this as complete :)

LMK if you need help with big query (or better yet feel free to post in Slack, plenty of big query users there)
