The census output fields contains census information from the U.S. Census, including Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs) and Census County Division (CCD) names and codes. MCDs are the primary political or administrative divisions of a county, representing many kinds of legal entities with a variety of governmental and administrative functions. CCDs are established in states where there are no legally established MCDs. The Census Bureau recognizes MCDs in 28 states and has established CCDs in 21 states. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the city of Washington, DC is considered equivalent to an MCD for data presentation purposes.
Census data also contains the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes for each state and county. The FIPS State Code and the FIPS County Code are both used by the Census Bureau to identify these geographic units.
