View source: R/integer_to_fips.R

Description

The Federal Information Processing Standards (fips) codes are available as 5-digit, 0-padded numbers. To standardize these codes for joins across datasets, one may need to convert raw integers (non-0-padded) to 5-digit numeric strings. This function does that.

Arguments

fips

character vector of county or state-level fips (5-digit zero-padded string) to be converted

integer

vector of length 1 or more

Details

A county-level fips code can be truncated to a state fips code since the last two digits in the county fips code are the state fips code.

Value

character vector with each member a 0-padded representation of the original integer value.
