How This FIPS Code Works

33 015
33 = State FIPS (New Hampshire)

Census ACS API — Python 33015
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",
    "for":  "county:015",
    "in":   "state:33",

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 33015
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '33015';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '33'
  AND county_fips = '015';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 33015 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  geography = "county",
  variables = c(income = "B19013_001E", pop = "B01003_001E"),
  state     = "33",
  county    = "015",
  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 33 (not 33) and 015 (not 15) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
