Place Codes

Geographic identification codes (geocodes) are unique identifying numbers that the Census Bureau assigns to all tabulation entities for computer processing. The Census Bureau assigns another set of codes only to functioning governmental units for processing its Census of Governments. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) administers the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 55 code system for locational entities, which include places, MCDs, American Indian reservations, and communities that are not recognized by the Census Bureau as either incorporated places or CDPs. This discussion deals only with codes for places recognized by the Census Bureau.
