-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 39153 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 39 (not 39) and 153 (not 153) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
