State Information

A dataset that links state (and Washington DC) names, FIPs codes, two-letter abbreviations (called "region" because this is what it is called in SafeGraph files that use it), and Census regions. Can be merged with fips_to_names using state_fips and statename.

state_info

Details

Note that this is a data set purely of Canadian provinces, US *states*, and DC. Some SafeGraph files contain information on region values of GU (Guam), PR (Puerto Rico), etc., but those will be lost if merging with state_info.
