Description

Classification vintage to retrieve. Each vintage is a separate county lookup published in that year, carrying the RUCC code, its vintage-specific description, and the county population; codes and descriptions are vintage-specific because the urbanization thresholds changed over time. Valid vintages are:
2023, 2013, 2003

state: str | None
Two-letter state or territory code to scope the county rows to a single state. If None, returns every county of the vintage. The available states vary by vintage: the 2023 and 2013 vintages include the AS, GU, MP, VI, PR, and DC territories, and the 2003 vintage adds PR to the fifty states and DC.
