How This FIPS Code Works

01 063
01 = State FIPS (Alabama)
063 = County FIPS

The 5-digit FIPS code 01063 is formed by combining the 2-digit state identifier 01 (Alabama) with the 3-digit county identifier 063. Together they uniquely identify Greene County in every US federal dataset. No two counties share the same 5-digit FIPS code.

Using FIPS Code 01063 in Code

Common patterns for querying federal datasets by this county's FIPS code. The leading zeros are significant — always treat FIPS codes as strings, not integers.

Census ACS API — Python 01063
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:063",
    "in":   "state:01",
    "key":  "YOUR_CENSUS_API_KEY",
}
r = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = r.json()  # [[header...], [Greene County, Alabama, income, pop, ...]
SQL — filtering by county FIPS 01063
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '01063';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '01'
  AND county_fips = '063';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 1063 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  geography = "county",
  variables = c(income = "B19013_001E", pop = "B01003_001E"),

  county    = "063",
  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 01 (not 1) and 063 (not 63) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Greene County
