Counties are primary legal divisions of states. In California, the Census Bureau cooperatively delineate these census areas for statistical purposes. Each county has a 3-character FIPS code that is unique within a state, and an 8-character ANSI code. The FIPS code for the state of California is 06. The FIPS codes for the SCAG counties are the following: Imperial = 025; Los Angeles = 036; Orange =059; Riverside = 65; San Bernardino = 071; and Ventura = 111. <\/SPAN>The county layer data was downloaded from the US Census and projected and extracted for the SCAG region. In addition, it was clipped for cartographic purposes. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>SCAG REGION 2020 CENSUS GEOGRAPHIES<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> provides more detailed information on the layer and coding system like CLASSFP and FUNCSTAT codes and their descriptions. <\/SPAN><\/P>
