How This FIPS Code Works

35 019
35 = State FIPS (New Mexico)
019 = County FIPS

Census ACS API — Python 35019
import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 35019
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '35019';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '35'
  AND county_fips = '019';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 35019 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 35 (not 35) and 019 (not 19) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
