Miscellaneous Information


Various Identification Codes ...

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies worked together to create a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to Beaver Creek:

Place (Community) Code:  05395
State Code:  08 (Colorado)
County Code:  037 (Eagle County)

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

State/Place Code:  08/05395
State/County Code:  08/037

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Beaver Creek is located in Region #4 (the West Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Beaver Creek is located in Division #8 (the Mountain Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Beaver Creek is located in Region VIII (Region 8).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Beaver Creek is located in Region VIII (Region 8).
