Data Description:

The numeric code assigned to incorporated places, census designated places, primary county divisions (such as townships, New England towns, and census county divisions), counties, and recognized Indian reservations and Alaska Native villages. These codes are also assigned to places in the files of the Geographic Names Information System of the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as names of airports, military bases, national parks, and U.S. Post Offices. Prior to June 1, 2003, place codes are required to derive MSA and CMSA codes for all New England states and Sullivan County, Missouri (in these places MSA codes do not encompass an entire county). For all other areas, the state/county combination is sufficient for the derivation.
