Obtaining FIPS County Numbers

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) county numbers are numbers that identify each county in a state. Note that these numbers are only unique at the state level, not the national level. For more information, see http://www.census.gov.

Note: FIPS county numbers are available for U.S. addresses only.
