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 Nisqually Indian Community:

Place (Community) Code:  49193
State Code:  53 (Washington)
County Code:  067 (Thurston 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:  53/49193
State/County Code:  53/067

Regional Codes ...

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

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Nisqually Indian Community is located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Nisqually Indian Community is located in Region X (Region 10).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Nisqually Indian Community is located in Region X (Region 10).
