# Axiom Codex

Axiom Codex turns public-source data into documented, schema-backed research datasets for employment, public health, places, and building permits. Maintained by Axiomancer Labs, the featured releases provide Parquet data, field definitions, source attribution, and machine-readable quality evidence. Read each dataset card for its exact scope, upstream terms, and limitations.

## Full research releases

These larger source-record releases are distinct from the 25,000-row sample repositories below. Their exact upstream terms and any required attribution are repository-specific; this organization page does not assign a shared license or grant additional rights.

| Dataset | Contents and reported coverage | Repository |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **LEHD Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC) — California, 2023** | 262,357 workplace-block records: every California block with at least one job in the 2023 Census LODES8 WAC file, with no sampling. No other state or year is included. This is WAC—not origin–destination commuter-flow data. LODES counts include Census disclosure-protection noise; small-area counts are approximate. | [Axiom LEHD Workplace Jobs — California 2023](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-lehd-workplace-jobs-us-ca) |
| **CDC PLACES, 2025 tract data** | 83,522 tract-level records across all 50 states and D.C. Modeled area estimates use 2023 tract geography and a mix of 2022 and 2023 survey years—not individual health observations. | [Axiom CDC PLACES Tracts 2025](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-cdc-places-tracts-2025) |
| **POI Intelligence — California** | 1,941,553 places from Overture release `2026-09-23.1`. Static snapshot; names and point locations can describe sole traders or home-based businesses. Component license texts and attribution notices are included. | [Axiom POI Intelligence — California](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-poi-intelligence-us-ca) |

## Public 25,000-row samples

These smaller, static samples make it possible to inspect the schemas and source-specific caveats before working with the larger releases. A sample is a separate artifact: its geography, dates, and source mix may differ from a larger release in the same family.

| Dataset | What the sample contains | Key limits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [POI Intelligence sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-poi-intelligence-sample-25k) | 25,000 places sampled from Overture Maps release `2026-09-23.1`, with category, source identifiers, point location, and H3 resolution-8 cell. Global static snapshot. | Coverage varies by region and category; it is thin for any one city. Missing operating status is not evidence that a place is open, and snapshot dates do not establish openings or closures. |
| [LEHD Workplace Jobs (WAC) sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-lehd-workplace-jobs-sample-25k) | 25,000 Census LODES8 WAC workplace-block records for 2023, sampled across California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington. | WAC is not origin–destination flow data. It covers six states and one year; noise-infused small-block counts are approximate, not exact job counts. |
| [Permit Signals sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-permit-signals-sample-25k) | 25,000 permit records from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle. | City periods differ (the Los Angeles feed ends in May 2023); status is a collection-time snapshot, not a verified outcome. Fields are missing at different rates by city, and rows without reviewed mappings are excluded. |

## Commercial All-access

The full national, per-state, per-year and city packages are part of Axiom Codex Commercial All-access, delivered on request after purchase. They are separate from the public research releases and samples above. All-access includes:

- **POI Intelligence:** Overture Places packages for all 50 states + DC, plus one consolidated all-states collection (17,288,286 rows, Overture release `2026-09-23.1`).
- **LEHD Workplace Jobs (WAC):** national 2023 coverage and per-year packages for 2002–2022, plus one consolidated 2002–2023 collection (48,592,172 rows across 22 annual vintages).
- **Permit Signals:** the full Seattle and Los Angeles package.

The consolidated collections bundle the same per-state and per-year packages; they are not additional data. See the [Axiom Codex catalog](https://www.axiomcodex.io/portal?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=org_card&utm_campaign=axiomcodex#/catalog) for current scope and terms.

## Quick start

Install the Hugging Face Datasets library, then load a sample by repository ID:

```bash
pip install datasets
```

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

places = load_dataset(
    "AxiomCodex/axiom-poi-intelligence-sample-25k",
    split="train",
)
print(places[0])
```

The repository cards include dataset-specific schema tables, citations, source terms, and links to the release manifest and quality evidence where provided. See the [POI sample card](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-poi-intelligence-sample-25k), [WAC sample card](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-lehd-workplace-jobs-sample-25k), and [permit sample card](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AxiomCodex/axiom-permit-signals-sample-25k) before using their fields.

## Intended use and limits

- These are source-record datasets for research, exploration, and analysis of the observations described in each repository card. They are **not supervised-learning benchmarks**: this page reports no benchmark scores, ground-truth evaluation labels, or train/validation/test evaluation design.
- The featured repositories use a single Hugging Face `train` split as a transport/tooling convention, not an ML evaluation split. Their cards retain the Axiom Codex governed training-use boundary; a split name is not training permission.
- No organization-wide license applies. Read each repository's own license metadata and card, follow the upstream source terms and attribution notices that apply to its records, and do not transfer one dataset's rights to another. This README grants no additional training or commercial rights.
- These research repositories and samples are not commercial packages. Any separately offered package has its own scope and terms; a public sample is not a substitute for that package or its license.
- Source coverage, dates, missingness, bias, and record meaning differ by dataset. A normalized field or status value does not by itself make a source observation complete, current, independently verified, or suitable for a decision about a person or property.
