State and County are listed in this file by a numerical code, not
name. For example, 53 for Washington and 033 for King County. Seems
like this code would be easy to find at the Census Bureau, but I
can't see it. Not real useful unless this gets decoded. Anyone have a
lead?
Here are links for Federal Information Processing Standards page,
the source for the county and state codes included in the zip code
file.
for the states and territories:
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip5-2.htm
for the counties, indexed by state:
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/co-codes/states.htm
I think there are something like 3300 counties, so converting these
is a non-trivial project.
