Why buy from us?

We've been providing data to our clients for years and over 225,000 different individuals, organizations, and corporations of all sizes have trusted us to provide them with the high quality data that they need. We don't just tell you about the quality, we show you the results of our verification and research (see below) and make sure you can quickly understand the most accurate ways to use the data we provide. All data is consistently labeled, there are no duplicates, quality data sources minimize any inaccuracies, and multiple data sources verify accuracy. We've done the work to combine data from multiple sources to make sure you have all of the fields you need.

Is your data up-to-date? Why don't you offer monthly/quarterly updates?

• No recurring fee lock-in. Update when you want.
• We recommend updating annually

We constantly monitor USPS data for major changes and release new data when there are significant changes. Our confidence is so high that we offer a money back guarantee: if you find any major changes before we make data updates, we'll issue a full refund.

Instead of locking our users into a recurring fee, we let you decide when updates are significant enough to warrant the time and cost of updating. Quite frankly, we don't offer weekly/monthly updates because new ZIP codes aren't frequently introduced - it's a monumental effort to create or change a ZIP code. We also don't issue data updates for insignificant changes like updating a ZIP to show it has 3869 deliverable addresses instead of 3866.

Why are the latest population estimates several years old?

We (and our sources) label statistics by the year the data was gathered - not the year that data was released. The difference between these two dates can often be several years. New data that would affect the estimate for 2024 can come in through the end of the year (tax returns for IRS estimates and surveys for the Census Bureau's Census and American Community Survey). It also takes our sources months or years to compile the vast amounts of data they receive. The data from the 2020 census was not released until May 25th of 2023. So the data for 2024 is still being collected and estimates for 2024 won't be released until 2025, 2026, or even 2027.

Do you have a complete list of the columns that are included?

An overview and samples of the data included in each edition of the database are included at the top of this page. Click here for a full description of each column in the various spreadsheets.

Are your data sources reliable?

Our data sources include the USPS, US Census Bureau, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) among others. We also provide a multitude of statistics that are derived from our data sources that save our customers time and money deriving these statistics. As an example, you don't have to know the formula or gather the data to calculate the population center of a ZIP code from the populations and coordinates of hundreds of blocks. We've done it for you. For the source of any particular data point, see our sources here.

How do I match ZIP codes to cities or counties?

ZIP codes are designed to aid mail delivery - not to match conventional boundaries. ZIP codes can be entirely within, entirely outside of, or partially within a city or county. Over 100 ZIP codes even cross state lines. It's also a misconception that the "city" and ZIP you use to address an envelope denotes whether an address lies within city limits. That "city" is usually the name of the main post office in the area. Click here to see examples and understand why.

If you are addressing mail, use the primary city provided by USPS that is available in every edition of our ZIP code database (Free, Small Business, or Enterprise). The county with the largest percentage of the ZIP population is also included in every edition. For other uses, click here to learn more about how ZIPs match to cities and counties and click here to learn about the data files used to match to cities and counties offered in our Enterprise version.

Which population estimate should I use?

We recommend the actual population count from the census that occurs every 10 years in the US. Even when the population counts are older, the accuracy is unmatched. The point of the census is for exactly this purpose - to count the population. That being said, you can read about the variety of ZIP code population estimates here including how they compare.

Which latitude and longitude coordinates should I use?

We recommend our customers use the population center to determine the location of a ZIP code. It can be as much as 20 or 30 miles different from other calculation methods and shows what is often most important - where the people are. Here is an example ZIP code where this is important. You can also click here to learn about all of the methods used to calculate ZIP coordinates.

How many ZIP codes are included?

All 42,735 ZIP codes are included in every edition (Free, Small Business, or Enterprise) of the ZIP code database.

By status: 41,695 active and 1,040 decommissioned ZIP codes

By type: 30,003 STANDARD, 9,396 PO BOX, 2,545 UNIQUE, and 791 MILITARY

Do you offer polygons, mapping data, other countries, or ZIP+4?

We do not offer postal code data outside of the US. However, US military ZIP codes that are serviced by USPS are included.

We do not offer ZIP+4 data. Determining the ZIP+4 requires a full address and certified software for appending it.

We also do not offer mapping data because shapefiles are freely available from the Census Bureau. Utilizing it would also require a great deal of technical expertise by our customers. Instead, we provide our customers with the most vital coordinates for ZIP codes in a much easier to use format.

Do I have to have a PayPal account?

No. Purchases can be made using a credit card without a PayPal account.
