Details

Periods: ANNUAL/A/0 or Q1–Q4/1–4. The optional area selects a state or county. Both three- and four-argument forms are handled directly; the old variadic routing could bypass the three-argument branch.

Examples containing angle-bracket placeholders are templates: replace them with codes from the relevant catalog. This command does not document result-specific EXTRACT keys; an empty metadata list does not establish that the returned object lacks extracts.
