 [

        data: Array(1) {

          0: {

  {
    "statistics": {
      "population_density": {
        "source_name": "NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) – Hosted by CIESIN at Columbia University",
        "value": 13543,
        "description": "The number of inhabitants per square kilometer around this point."
      }
    },
    "location": {
      "latitude": 37.769456,
      "longitude": -122.429128
    }
  }
]


handleSelect = address => {
    this.setState({
        address,
    });

    console.log(this.state.address);

    geocodeByAddress(address)
        .then(res => getLatLng(res[0]))
        .then(({
            lat,
            lng
        }) => {
            this.setState({
                latitude: lat,
                longitude: lng,
                isGeocoding: false,
            });

            this.setState({
                isLoaded: true
            });
        })
        .catch(error => {
            this.setState({
                isGeocoding: false
            });
            console.log('error', error); // eslint-disable-line no-console
        });

    console.log(this.state.latitude);
    console.log(this.state.longitude);

    var param = {
        lat: this.state.latitude,
        long: this.state.longitude,
        temp: 1,
    };
    axios
        .post(`http://localhost:5000/search-data`, {
            param,
        })
        .then(data => {
            console.log(data);
            this.setState({
                value: data.data[0].statistics.population_density.value,
            });

        });

};

Answer 1

You need data.data.data[0] :

.then(data => {
        console.log(data);
        this.setState({
            value: data.data.data[0].statistics.population_density.value,
        });

    });

The output of console.log(data) shows that this object - which is stored in a variable named data - has a property that is called data which in turn again has a property called data .

Answer 2

I would suggest to rename the data parameter to response because that's what axios is actually giving you:

.then(response => {
    console.log(response);
    this.setState({
        value: response.data.data[0].statistics.population_density.value
    });
});

Then the error should be obvious. A response does not consist only of data.
