How This FIPS Code Works

50 025
50 = State FIPS (Vermont)
025 = County FIPS

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 50025
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '50025';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '50'
  AND county_fips = '025';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 50025 is WRONG for this county

get_acs(
  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. 50 (not 50) and 025 (not 25) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →
