'''[[:Template:Cite American Factfinder2]]''' generates a reference (using [[:Template:Cite web]]) to Geographic Comparison Tables from the [[2000 United States Census]] via the [[United States Census Bureau]]'s [[American FactFinder]] website (http://factfinder2.census.gov). Includes land area, water area, and population density for counties, county subdivisions and cities. '''[[:Template:American Factfinder2]]''' generates [[URL]]s for this template and should not be used separately.
Note: Template is only for the 50 U.S. States, the [[District of Columbia]] and [[Puerto Rico]]. It will not generate information for the other U.S. territories.
===Usage===
Use: <nowiki>{{</nowiki>American Factfinder2|''type''|''id''|''type2''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
* <code>type</code>: Use '''1''' to generate state-level tables or '''2''' to generate county-level tables.
* <code>id</code>: The [[Federal Information Processing Standards|FIPS Code]] a state or county within that state. Use just the two digit FIPS code for state-level tables. Add the three digit county FIPS code as well for county-level tables. For Zip Code Tabulation Areas, use the first three digits of the [[ZIP code]]. [http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/codes/state.html Find State and County FIPS Codes here].
**Code for [[North Dakota]] is ''38''. The code for [[Adams County, North Dakota]] is ''38001''.
* <code>type2</code>: The specific type of data you want displayed. Choices are '''state''', '''county''', '''place''', '''tribe''', or '''urban''' (for urban/rural comparisons). '''ANCR''' or '''native_HI''' can also be used for Alaska Native lands and Native Hawaiian lands respectively.
* <code>name</code>: Not used as of October 2015
* <code>accessdate</code>: date of web page visit
====Citation====
{{tl|Cite American Factfinder2}}
All parameters are required. Parameters can be named or unnamed. The template will generate a named URL including the name of the American Factfinder table being cited along with the article title as the [[anchor text]].
<nowiki>* {{</nowiki>cite American Factfinder2|''type''|''id''|''type2''}}
<!--To have the link text be other than the article name, use a fourth parameter (optionally, it can be named <code>name</code>):
<nowiki>* {{</nowiki>cite American Factfinder2|''type''|''id''|''type''2|''name''}}
This can be used to customize the cite when the page name contains disambiguation brackets or other text. This is also necessary should you need to add a link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked feature.-->
Generally, you will want to specify the date you accessed the American Factfinder database using the fifth parameter (also named <code>accessdate</code>). The template uses January 31, 2008 by default, but you can select a different date if you choose:
<nowiki>* {{</nowiki>cite American Factfinder2|''type''|''id''|''type2''|''name''|''accessdate''}}
===Examples===
For South Dakota:
{{cite American Factfinder2|1|46|state|accessdate=October 1, 2015}}
For [[Adams County, North Dakota]]:
{{cite American Factfinder2|2|38001|county}}
For Places in North Dakota:
{{cite American Factfinder2|1|38|place}}
===Finding FIPS codes===
* The [[U.S. Environmental Protection Agency]] lists [http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/codes/state.html state and county FIPS Codes here].
* Search the [http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic Geographic Names Information System] for individual locations.
* The Missouri Census Data Center also has complied a [http://mcdc2.missouri.edu/webrepts/commoncodes/ master list] of state, county, city, and other location FIPS codes.
