Can anyone point me to a recent list of geographic component codes? I can't seem to locate one anywhere on the Bureau's website, FTP, or docs.
I have one from about 2010 but would like to update it if possible.
It looks possible to extract it from the geos file (e.g. Geos20235YR.txt).

So 89 = American Indian Reservation and Trust Land -- Federal and so on, but I'm hoping someone knows of a complete list I can slurp.
This used to appear in ACS Summary File Appendices, but those are no longer produced with the new Table-Based Summary Files. Instead, the same info is now available through what's called the "Table List…
It's interesting that I am currently running a script that gives me all the State, County, Tracts because it seems like the best way of just getting the data. It's been over an hour (I did add a small delay and have my API key). Once I have the data, that's my list to load my selection choices for my web selection and I wont need to do it for another year. Yes, better files and descriptions on the census websites would be good.
