Thanks for pointing this out. So our users can be aware of that for the FIPS codes
variables, there is no preceding zero.
Actually, I did this on purpose. I like the way to keep FIPS code to number, not
characters. In this way, the first 0 got dropped of course. The reason I don't like
keep FIPS code as characters is that when you import the data into SAS or other
statistical software, you easily get lots of blank spaces before and after the value and
when merging it with other files using FIPS code, it cause lots of tourble.

Thanks
FYI I think there is something off with the file.
It seems when I import the file into mysql OR open it in note pad the county FIPS code is
truncated for Alabama
Autauga county FIPS should be 01001 instead of 1001.
We are able to work around this with a few clever SQL statements but for others it might
present a challenge.
Thanks again.
