Data USA is built around four major types of data: geographies, occupations, industries and educational courses. In order to integrate new data with existing data in the platform, it is important that the data are linkable. Below are details on how each one of the four major data types are structured and how they should be structured for any new data source.
Geographic identifiers are special strings that denote different levels of the US geographic hierarchy. Here are the currently supported identifiers for geographies in Data USA:
| Description | Code Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nation (United States) | 01000US | |
| State | 04000USXX | Where XX is a 2-digit FIPS code |
| County | 05000USXXYYY | Where XX is a 2-digit FIPS state code and YYY is a 3-digit county code |
