How This FIPS Code Works

08 093
08 = State FIPS (Colorado)
093 = County FIPS

The 5-digit FIPS code 08093 is formed by combining the 2-digit state identifier 08 (Colorado) with the 3-digit county identifier 093. Together they uniquely identify Park County in every US federal dataset. No two counties share the same 5-digit FIPS code.

Using FIPS Code 08093 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 08093
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:093",
    "in":   "state:08",

r = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = r.json()  # [[header...], [Park County, Colorado, income, pop, ...]
SQL — filtering by county FIPS 08093
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '08093';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '08'
  AND county_fips = '093';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 8093 is WRONG for this county

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

  county    = "093",
  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 08 (not 8) and 093 (not 93) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Park County

ZIP codes do not align perfectly with county boundaries — a single ZIP code can span multiple counties, and a county can contain parts of many ZIP codes. The ratios below (from the Census 2020 ZCTA relationship file) show the land area share of each ZCTA that falls within Park County. Why FIPS ≠ ZIP →
