Miscellaneous Information


Various Identification Codes ...

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies created 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 Hutchinson Island South:

Place (Community) Code:  32993
State Code:  12 (Florida)
County Code:  111 (Saint Lucie 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:  12/32993
State/County Code:  12/111

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Hutchinson Island South is located in Region #3 (the South Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Hutchinson Island South is located in Division #5 (the South Atlantic Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Hutchinson Island South is located in Region IV (Region 4).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Hutchinson Island South is located in Region IV (Region 4).
