FAQ

Questions U.S. Census Bureau owners ask.

  • 01

    What are FIPS codes?

    FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) codes are numbers used by the government to uniquely identify states, counties, and places. E.g., California is 06, Los Angeles County is 037.

  • 02

    Which census survey do you use?

    We use the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year estimates, which provide the most reliable, detailed, and broad demographic data annually.

  • 03

    Are undocumented immigrants counted?

    Yes, the Census Bureau attempts to count all residents regardless of immigration status, though this group is historically harder to count accurately.
