How This FIPS Code Works

30 109
30 = State FIPS (Montana)
109 = County FIPS

import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 30109
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '30109';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '30'
  AND county_fips = '109';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 30109 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 30 (not 30) and 109 (not 109) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
