Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Geographic award analysis

Common Usage

  • State-level rollups of principal place of performance
  • Readable display in dashboards and reports
  • Validation of decoded location values against state codes

Common Mistakes

  • Using the label as a join key instead of the code
  • Assuming the field is always populated or normalized

Query Guidance

Select this field for display or grouping after verifying it matches the paired state code. In SQL, use the code field for joins and filters, and the name field only for presentation; if needed, deduplicate by the code to avoid multiple spellings of the same state.
