Description
Summary
Two Alaska boroughs are missing from county_enum.py, which prevents correct SNAP utility region mapping:
- Haines Borough (FIPS 02100)
- Petersburg Borough (FIPS 02195)
Both should map to AK_SOUTHEAST per Alaska's FSP-77 SNAP utility region assignments.
Impact
Without these enum entries, households in Haines Borough and Petersburg Borough fall through to the default AK_C (Central) region in snap_utility_region.py, resulting in incorrect SNAP utility allowance amounts.
Files to update
-
policyengine_us/variables/household/demographic/geographic/county/county_enum.py— add:HAINES_BOROUGH_AK = "Haines Borough, AK" PETERSBURG_BOROUGH_AK = "Petersburg Borough, AK"
-
policyengine_us/variables/gov/usda/snap/snap_utility_region.py— add toAK_SOUTHEASTlist:"HAINES_BOROUGH_AK", "PETERSBURG_BOROUGH_AK",
-
May also need to update FIPS dataset in
policyengine_us/tools/geography/if those FIPS codes are missing.
Reference
- Alaska FSP-77 (SNAP utility region assignments by borough)
- Census Bureau FIPS codes: 02100 (Haines Borough), 02195 (Petersburg Borough)
