FIPS Geocode Mapping

These provided JSON files are meant to answer the question, "For a given FIPS code, what is the basic information I need to plot this as a data point on a map?" I wasn't able to find anything processed already like this, so I decided to create this to use.

Data provided by the U.S. Census Gazetteer Files.

Getting Started

You can either use the JSON files fips_map.json or fips_map_minify.json directly (the latter being the "minified" version of the same data). Or you can run and modify the script yourself.

python script.py
