ZIP Code Area Demographic Economic Data Resources
This section provides an overview of selected options available to access ZIP code area data from Census 2010, American Community Survey and 5-year current estimates and projections. A ZIP Code Area (ZCA) is a set of generally contiguous of Census 2010 census blocks that approximates the corresponding U.S. Postal Service (USPS) ZIP code delivery area. The USPS does not define ZIP code delivery areas as polygons; rather they are a collection of lines/streets and roads. See the related section about ZIP Code area data access options. In this section: • Geography • Census 2010 • American Community Survey 2011 • American Community Survey 2012 • American Community Survey 2013 • Current Estimates & Projections • Integrated GIS Tools & ZIP Code Data for Demographic Economic Analysis American Community Survey 2014 estimates to be released in December 2015.
Geography
Data for ZIP code areas (ZCAs) described below are for ZIP code areas defined as of Census 2010. In general, the boundaries have not been changed since that time. In contrast, some USPS ZIP codes have been added/modified since Census 2010. Census 2010 ZCAs do not cover the U.S.wall-to-wall as the result of some geographies not being populated. However, in most urbanized areas Census 2010 ZIP code areas closely approximate USPS ZIP code delivery areas as of 2010. The USPS does not provide boundaries for USPS ZIP code areas. There are approximately 33,120 Census 2010 ZIP Code areas. Equivalence Files. ZCA component census blocks may be determined by using the Census 2010 Summary File 1 2010SF1 geographic header record. Block level records in that file contain both the block geocode and the ZCA code. How do ZCAs intersect with other geography? What part of a ZCA is in what county? ZCA-to-other geography equivalence files may also be developed using the 2010SF1 geographic header record. Equivalence files available include: • ZCA to County • ZCA to City/Place • ZCA to MCD/Town/County Subdivision • ZCA to School District • ZCA to Census Tract • ZCA to 111th/112th/113th/114th Congressional District • ZCA to Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas Shapefiles: Mapping ZIP Code Areas. Create ZCA reference and/or thematic pattern maps using the CV XE GIS and ZCA shapefiles. Members of the ProximityOne User Group may use the GeoGateway feature to download ZCA boundary files and add the ZCA boundary shapefile as a layer in a GIS project.

Census 2010 Demographics
Census 2010 demographics are available for ZIP code areas. There are no "richer demographics" (such as educational attainment, income, employment, language spoken, enrollment, housing value etc.) available for any type of tabulation area -- owing to the fact that those questions were not on the questionnaire. A recommended collection of Census 2010 data for ZIP code areas is available from the "Demographic Profile Summary File." See more about the DPSF structure and content.
