INCORP
Incorporated municipality code

Description

INCORP provides codes for incorporated municipalities (e.g., cities and villages). The coding scheme generally follows the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS).

Coding of INCORP was based on a listing of codes used for the 1990 U.S. census. Many minor civil divisions that we encounter in the historical census data no longer exist because of political and administrative reorganization at the sub-county level. In these cases we assigned non-standard FIPS codes consistent with the present-day FIPS coding format.

Note that INCORP is state and county dependent. The codes must be read in combination with one of the state variables (STATEICP or STATEFIP) and the COUNTYICP variable.
