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 Riverton-Boulevard Park:

Place (Community) Code:  58878
State Code:  53 (Washington)
County Code:  033 (King 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:  53/58878
State/County Code:  53/033

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Riverton-Boulevard Park is located in Region #4 (the West Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Riverton-Boulevard Park is located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Riverton-Boulevard Park is located in Region X (Region 10).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Riverton-Boulevard Park is located in Region X (Region 10).
