I have a question: Why are there no State FIPS codes for 03, 07, 14, 43, and 52? Why are these codes skipped?

Good question, I'll answer it in the article, as it seems relevant. --Sturmde 7 July 2005 18:03 (UTC)

FIPS 58, 59 and 61

It appears they have another use. If you look at the public school K-12 database, the local education agency ID is a combination of several FIPS ID's, among them "state" except that there are DOZENS of schools in states 58, 59 and 61 whose physical location are either within one of the 50 states or on foreign US DoD bases. #58 appears to be split between AE and AP (about 2:1), while #59 is - literally - all over the map (22 states, mostly in NM, ND, and SD). #61 has 7 states, PR, and AP. 

I have no idea what I should assign the districts to since they cover multiple places.   I'm sure they're DoD related.
