How This FIPS Code Works

06 115
06 = State FIPS (California)
115 = County FIPS

Census ACS API — Python 06115
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:115",
    "in":   "state:06",

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 06115
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '06115';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '06'
  AND county_fips = '115';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 6115 is WRONG for this county

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

  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 06 (not 6) and 115 (not 115) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Yuba County
