How This FIPS Code Works

Census ACS API — Python 49033
import requests

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 49033
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '49033';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '49'
  AND county_fips = '033';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 49033 is WRONG for this county

Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 49 (not 49) and 033 (not 33) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
