BRFSS reporting jurisdictions: FIPS codes, names, and Census regions
Source:R/data.R
brfss_states.RdEvery jurisdiction that appears in the BRFSS _STATE value-label
maps: the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the participating
territories (American Samoa, Guam, Palau, Puerto Rico, Virgin
Islands). fips matches the _STATE column in the data, so this
table joins directly onto any extract, and it is what the states
argument of read_brfss() and brfss_design() accepts names and
postal abbreviations from.
Format
A tibble with 56 rows and 5 columns:
- fips
Census state FIPS code (integer), as in
_STATE.- name
Jurisdiction name, e.g.
"Texas".- abbr
Two-letter postal abbreviation, e.g.
