Module civic_lib_geo.fips_utils

Classes

Path(self, *args, **kwargs)

PurePath subclass that can make system calls.

Path represents a filesystem path but unlike PurePath, also offers methods to do system calls on path objects. Depending on your system, instantiating a Path will return either a PosixPath or a WindowsPath object. You can also instantiate a PosixPath or WindowsPath directly, but cannot instantiate a WindowsPath on a POSIX system or vice versa.

Functions

get_fips_by_state_code(state_code: str, source: pathlib.Path | None = None) -> str

Returns the FIPS code for a given 2-letter state code.

Args: state_code (str): A 2-letter state abbreviation (e.g., 'MN'). source (Path | None): Optional override path to a custom CSV file.

Returns: str: Corresponding FIPS code (e.g., '27').

Raises: ValueError: If the state code is not found.

get_state_fips_df(source: pathlib.Path | None = None) -> pandas.core.frame.DataFrame

Load and return a DataFrame of US state FIPS codes.

Args: source (Path | None): Path to a CSV file. If None, uses the default embedded CSV.

Returns: pd.DataFrame: A DataFrame with columns ['state_code', 'state_name', 'fips_code'].

get_state_name_by_code(state_code: str, source: pathlib.Path | None = None) -> str

Returns the full state name for a given 2-letter state code.

Args: state_code (str): A 2-letter state abbreviation. source (Path | None): Optional override path to a custom CSV file.

Returns: str: Full state name (e.g., 'Minnesota').

Raises: ValueError: If the state code is not found.

read_csv_from_path(source: pathlib.Path) -> pandas.core.frame.DataFrame

Reads a CSV file from the given path and returns a DataFrame.

Args: source (Path): Path to the CSV file.

Returns: pd.DataFrame: DataFrame containing the CSV data.
