data - How do I from convert from street level address to block/block group/census track?


I just downloaded block-level census data, using this answer Where to get 2010 Census Block data?


It output a spreadsheet with a bunch of rows of the format


GEO.id                   | GEO.id2    | Geo.display-label
1000000US22071000100100 | 2.2071E+14 | Block 1002, Block Group 1, Census Tract 1, Orleans Parish, Louisiana

I want to convert "Block 1002, Block Group 1, Census Tract 1" to something like 700 Block of Jefferson St. Etc.


How do I convert these "addresses" into street addresses or longitudes/latitudes?


Edit



I can go individually from street address to census block using the advanced search on American Fact Finder, but I am looking for a way to do a batch conversion.


The FCC has an API that will do block conversions from lat/longitude to blocks: http://www.fcc.gov/developers/census-block-conversions-api
