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 Ho-Ho-Kus:

Place (Community) Code:  32340
State Code:  34 (New Jersey)
County Code:  003 (Bergen 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:  34/32340
State/County Code:  34/003

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Region #1 (the Northeast Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Division #2 (the Middle Atlantic Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Region II (Region 2).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Region II (Region 2).

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 Ho-Ho-Kus, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Ho-Ho-Kus. 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.
