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 Brookline Station:

Place (Community) Code:  08740
State Code:  29 (Missouri)
County Code:  077 (Greene 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:  29/08740
State/County Code:  29/077

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Brookline Station is located in Region #2 (the Midwest Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Brookline Station is located in Division #4 (the West North-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Brookline Station is located in Region VII (Region 7).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Brookline Station is located in Region VII (Region 7).

ZIP Codes ...

While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Brookline Station, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Brookline Station. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code are defined by the needs of the USPS and can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.

The ZIP code for Brookline Station: 65619<1>
