How This FIPS Code Works

32 007
32 = State FIPS (Nevada)
007 = County FIPS

Using FIPS Code 32007 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 32007
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:007",
    "in":   "state:32",
    "key":  "YOUR_CENSUS_API_KEY",
}
r = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = r.json()  # [[header...], [Elko County, Nevada, income, pop, ...]
SQL — filtering by county FIPS 32007
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '32007';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '32'
  AND county_fips = '007';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 32007 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  geography = "county",
  variables = c(income = "B19013_001E", pop = "B01003_001E"),
  state     = "32",
  county    = "007",
  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 32 (not 32) 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 Elko County

The ratios below (from the Census 2020 ZCTA relationship file) show the land area share of each ZCTA that falls within Elko County. Why FIPS ≠ ZIP →
