How This FIPS Code Works

16 081
16 = State FIPS (Idaho)
081 = County FIPS

The 5-digit FIPS code 16081 is formed by combining the 2-digit state identifier 16 (Idaho) with the 3-digit county identifier 081. Together they uniquely identify Teton County in every US federal dataset. No two counties share the same 5-digit FIPS code.

Census ACS API — Python 16081
import requests

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

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 16081
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '16081';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '16'
  AND county_fips = '081';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 16081 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. 16 (not 16) and 081 (not 81) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Teton County
