How This FIPS Code Works

49 019

Census ACS API — Python 49019
import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 49019
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '49019';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '49'
  AND county_fips = '019';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 49019 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 49 (not 49) and 019 (not 19) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
