# Segmentation Functions
The Segmentation Snapshot API function enables you to determine the pre-calculated population segment for a location. Segmentation is a method that divides a target market into subgroups based on shared common traits. For example, you can take the location of a store location and determine what classification of population exists around that location. If you need help creating coordinates from addresses, see the [Geocoding Functions](/cartodb-platform/dataservices-api/geocoding-functions/) documentation.

_**Note:** The Segmentation Snapshot API is currently only available for the United States. CartoDB includes the segmentation profile defined in the Output Data: US_tract_clusters_new_, as detailed in the _[Understanding America's Neighborhoods Using Uncertain Data from the American Community Survey](http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00045608.2015.1052335) contextual approach. Subsequent releases will include additional segmentation profiles._
