Census ACS API — Python 49027
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 49027
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '49027';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '49'
  AND county_fips = '027';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 49027 is WRONG for this county

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

)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 49 (not 49) and 027 (not 27) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
