Where to find the FIPS codes database
It is located on the STO P drive. You can find it here: \\s94X01\public\intergovernmental\fips codes database.accdb or contact OCSS.Contact.CenterCoordinatedPrograms@okdhs.org for a link.
In the database you can search 5 ways:
- By the 7 digit FIPS code
- By the first 2 digits of the FIPS code (state code)
- By any part of the FIPS code
- By City – any part of the city name
- By State – by 2 letter postal code
Each way brings up a similar report, but let’s look at a Search by State to see what it’s like.
If we click the “Search by State” button, a box pops up into which you can type the 2 letter state abbreviation. Below are the results for VT (Vermont).
