Please note that FIPS codes are ''not'' the same thing as ZIP Code s, however the two-letter abbreviations for U.S. states ''are'' the same as the Postal Service state abbreviations. Currently, actual "states" of the United States are (with the exception of number 11, District of Columbia), those entries with a FIPS code of 01 to 56. The column "Counties in this state" provides a link to a list of the counties (boroughs and census areas in Alaska; parishes in Louisiana) for that state. The listing of counties for areas other than states are listed below on this page. Codes 03, 07, 14, 43, and 52 in the above table were formerly used for the certain territories, but some users found it difficult to separate them out from the States as a result so they were reassigned codes higher up in the system. Currently, actual "states" of the United States are (with the exception of number 11, District of Columbia), those entries with a FIPS code of 01 through 56. The following codes for maritime areas are used by the Emergency Alert System and NOAA Weatherradio and are unlikely to be used otherwise by FIPS.
