One way to do this is to use the us Census Bureau GeoCoder.
The main site is here: https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/
You can submit an address batch file if you want to do it by street
addresses (if you don't know latitude and longtitude, which by the way
can be calculated if you know center lat and lon, distance from center
and angle to point.
Given that information, you will receive:
And another for finding lat and long from bearing and distance from a point: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html
You can also download all of the raw data (Tiger files) if you want to do it all yourself.
But a lot easier to use the api.
