'''Note: this template currently does not produce valid links in the outputted citations.'''
'''Template:American Factfinder3''' generates external links to [[2000 United States Census|U.S. Census 2000]] demographic data via the [[United States Census Bureau]]'s [[American FactFinder]] website (http://factfinder.census.gov). It is used to supplement {{tl|American Factfinder}} for more detailed census data, as well as linking to certain geographic places and locations that cannot be linked to using that template. This template will generate links to all the same locations as the original template, with the addition of minor administrative county, tribal, and municipal subdivisions. Please note that this template uses an entirely different syntax than the original template, and will generate links to 4 separate tables, depending on your inputs. Used in conjunction with [[:Template:Cite American Factfinder3]] for references in individual articles.
Tables that are available:
**'''General'''. Population, age, gener, race, and number of households.
**'''Social'''. Ethnicity, education, marital status, and general ancestry information.
**'''Economic'''. Median income, poverty levels, and employment.
**'''Housing'''. Number and type of housing units as well as home values.
**'''Age and Sex''' = Distribution of population by age group and gender.
**'''Ancestry''' = Detailed ancestry information by country.
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 Factfinder3|''type''|''id''|''table''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
* <code>type</code>: Locality/Geographic Location for which data is needed. See [[#Locality Terms|Locality Terms]] below.
* <code>id</code>: The [[Federal Information Processing Standards|FIPS code]] for the location. For most areas, this is a 4 or 5 digit number preceded by the 2 digit state number. Exemptions are listed below. See [[#Finding FIPS codes|Finding FIPS codes]] for more.
**States: 2 digit state number.
**Counties: 5 digits, state number + county number
**County subdivisions: 10 digits. state number + county number + location number.
**Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs): 5 digits corresponding to a U.S. Postal Service [[ZIP code]].
**''Note: Some areas have multiple FIPS Codes. Be sure to use the FIPS code that corresponds to the particular geographic type you have selected, e.g. county, city, township, etc.''
**The United States does not have a distinct FIPS code. For nation-level citations, include the <code>id</code> field, but leave it blank.
* <code>table</code>: Census Profile Type. Alphanumeric code that corresponds to a specific Census summary table. Most common ones used in articles are listed below.
**'''general''' = General population information
**'''social''' = Social characteristics
***'''social-pr''' = for social data for Puerto Rico
**'''economic''' = Economic characteristics
**'''housing''' = Housing characteristics
**'''age''' = Age groups and gender.

===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].
* 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.
* Search the [http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic Geographic Names Information System] lists codes for individual locations. Given as "Census Code."
* Individual Wikipedia articles often list the FIPS code in the article's infobox.
