How This FIPS Code Works

36 065

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 36065
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '36065';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '36'
  AND county_fips = '065';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 36065 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  geography = "county",
  variables = c(income = "B19013_001E", pop = "B01003_001E"),

  year      = 2022
)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 36 (not 36) and 065 (not 65) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Oneida County
