How This FIPS Code Works

33 009
33 = State FIPS (New Hampshire)
009 = County FIPS

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 33009
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '33009';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '33'
  AND county_fips = '009';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 33009 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 33 (not 33) and 009 (not 9) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
