How This FIPS Code Works

41 049
41 = State FIPS (Oregon)
049 = County FIPS

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 41049
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '41049';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '41'
  AND county_fips = '049';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 41049 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 41 (not 41) and 049 (not 49) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
