How This FIPS Code Works

35 033
35 = State FIPS (New Mexico)
033 = County FIPS

import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 35033
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '35033';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '35'
  AND county_fips = '033';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 35033 is WRONG for this county

)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 35 (not 35) and 033 (not 33) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Mora County

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