ICPSR
County Codes: 1850-1930
(Back to Geographic tools)
This page lists the codes used in the variable COUNTY,
which employs the coding scheme of the Inter-University Consortium for
Political and Social Research (ICPSR). The first 3 digits are identical
to the FIPS county codes used in other datasets; ICPSR adds a digit to
accomodate change over time (generally, if a county merged with another
or was renamed before 1970, it receives a fourth digit of "5"). A full list of ICPSR County Codes can also be downlowded as an Excel file or as tab-delimitted text.
County boundary files are available for the years listed below.
IPUMS data can be matched to these files using the STATEICP and COUNTY variables.
