Census ACS API — Python 08075
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 08075
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '08075';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '08'
  AND county_fips = '075';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 8075 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. 08 (not 8) and 075 (not 75) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
