How This FIPS Code Works

12 035
12 = State FIPS (Florida)
035 = County FIPS

The 5-digit FIPS code 12035 is formed by combining the 2-digit state identifier 12 (Florida) with the 3-digit county identifier 035. Together they uniquely identify Flagler County in every US federal dataset. No two counties share the same 5-digit FIPS code.

Census ACS API — Python 12035
import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 12035
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '12035';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '12'
  AND county_fips = '035';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 12035 is WRONG for this county

)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 12 (not 12) and 035 (not 35) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
