I need to be able to relate a Census Block to it's corresponding FIPS Division and Subdivision and I have not found any data file or reference to help me identify that relationship, can you help?

TIGER Census Block Data tables contains a field "GEOID" which is a combination of State Fips, County Fips, Census Tract, and Blocks.

Thanks for your suggestion, as stated in my original question the details about State/County FIPS are not enough I need the Town/Subdivision also. Dec 5, 2013 at 20:01

In 2008, NIST withdrew the FIPS 55-3 database. This database included 5-digit numeric place codes for cities, towns, and villages, or other centers of population in the United States. The codes were assigned alphabetically to places within each state, and as a result changed frequently in order to maintain the alphabetical sorting. NIST replaced these codes with the more permanent GNIS Feature ID, maintained by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.– MaksimDec 5, 2013 at 20:09
