How This FIPS Code Works

12 007
12 = State FIPS (Florida)
007 = County FIPS

The 5-digit FIPS code 12007 is formed by combining the 2-digit state identifier 12 (Florida) with the 3-digit county identifier 007. Together they uniquely identify Bradford County in every US federal dataset. No two counties share the same 5-digit FIPS code.

Using FIPS Code 12007 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 12007
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:007",
    "in":   "state:12",
    "key":  "YOUR_CENSUS_API_KEY",
}
r = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = r.json()  # [[header...], [Bradford County, Florida, income, pop, ...]
SQL — filtering by county FIPS 12007
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '12007';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '12'
  AND county_fips = '007';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 12007 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  geography = "county",
  variables = c(income = "B19013_001E", pop = "B01003_001E"),
  state     = "12",
  county    = "007",
  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 12 (not 12) and 007 (not 7) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Bradford 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 Bradford County. Why FIPS ≠ ZIP →
