Specifications for States and Outlying Areas of the United States

  1. Name of Standard. States and Outlying Areas of the United States.
  2. Category of Standard. Federal General Data Standard, Representations and Codes.
  3. Explanation. This standard provides names, abbreviations and codes for representing the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the outlying areas, all of which are considered to be “first order subdivisions” of the United States.
  4. Qualifications. In the application of this standard, any of the three forms of representation (i.e., names, abbreviations, or codes) may be used to represent those data elements having values (data items) of States or outlying areas of the United States. Names and abbreviations are preferred when human considerations and input reliability are important. The two character numeric code may be used in those applications where machine and numeric sorting considerations are more important, since a sort on the numeric code arranges the States in alphabetical sequence. The codes from FIPS 10, Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty, are listed in this standard for the outlying areas of the United States. The form of representation used (i.e., names, abbreviations, or codes) should be identified in format descriptions when data are interchanged.
  5. Special Information. Changes in this revision of the standard are noted by an asterisk in the left margIN Also the number of changes which have occurred to an item since its original publication is noted by a superscript character following the code. All changes are explained by footnotes.
  6. Specifications.

02 ALASKA (AK)

Note: The official political units of Alaska are called boroughs. There are 10 organized boroughs and an unorganized borough. Unfortunately, for statistical purposes, the organized boroughs cover only a very small percentage of the land area of the state and have the further disadvantage of excluding military and Indian reservations which lie within their boundaries. Consequently, the unorganized borough is too large to provide a basis for suitable statistical analysis. For these reasons the boroughs are not usable for most statistical purposes.

The Census Bureau, in conjunction with the State of Alaska, has established Census Divisions for Alaska which provide a more effective basis for statistical purposes. The Census Divisions are stable geographic statistical areas with defined boundaries that encompass the entire state and generally comprise the election districts. The State of Alaska has requested that these Census Divisions be utilized for statistical purposes.

Two sets of codes are therefore provided for the geopolitical subdivisions of Alaska; namely, the Census Divisions and the Bureaus. The Census Division codes all have a zero in the lower order (last) position. Also listed next are the codes for the boroughs. These can be used in those applications having definite requirements to identify these political units. It should be noted that the low order position of these codes are other than the character zero. Also, the State of Alaska defines the Unorganized Borough to be the remainder of the State other than the 10 organized boroughs. Accordingly, those systems using this definition of the Unorganized Borough would code the military and Indian reservations as 999.
