Miscellaneous Information for Metairie ...

The Federal government has assigned various identifying codes to each community, county, parish and state. At one time or another, the US Census Bureau has used one (or more) of the following identifiers when referring to either Jefferson Parish or the community of Metairie:

• The GNIS Codes ...
  • The current system of identification is called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The following GNIS codes relate to Metairie:
  • GNIS ID for Metairie: 555301
  • GNIS ID for Jefferson Parish: 558027
  • GNIS ID for State of Louisiana: 1629543

• The FIPS Codes ...
  • An earlier (and largely obsolete) identification method was called the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS):
  • State Code: 22 (Louisiana)
  • County Code: 051 (Jefferson Parish)
  • Place Code: 50115 (Metairie)
  • State & County Code: 22/051 (Louisiana / Jefferson Parish)
  • State & Place Code: 22/50115 (Louisiana / Metairie)

• Misc. Census Codes ...
  • Metairie is located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #7 (the West South-Central Division).

• The US Postal Service ZIP Code ...
  • While some people have used ZIP codes to identify a community, the ZIP codes were actually created to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although a ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Metairie, they do identify addresses that are in (or near) the community. It's important to remember that the boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
  • Our list of ZIP codes for Metairie:<4>
  • 70001, 70002, 70003, 70004, 70005, 70009, 70010, 70033, 70055 & 70060.

• Census ZCTA Codes ...
  • The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
  • ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.
