Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:250,000. U.S. ZIP Code Areas (Five-Digit) represents five-digit ZIP Code areas used by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail more effectively. The first digit of a five-digit ZIP Code divides the United States into 10 large groups of states numbered from 0 in the Northeast to 9 in the far West. Within these areas, each state is divided into an average of 10 smaller geographical areas, identified by the second and third digits. These digits, in conjunction with the first digit, represent a sectional center facility or a mail processing facility area. The fourth and fifth digits identify a post office, station, branch or local delivery area. The polygons identify areas where mail is delivered (from a city block or two to a whole rural town) within United States. |
U.S. ZIP Code Areas (Five-Digit) provides area, post office name, and population for each ZIP Code area in the United States. The polygons identify areas where mail is delivered (from a city block or two to a whole rural town) within United States. |

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

The following steps were performed by ESRI: -Extracted data set from Tele Atlas Dynamap/Census Boundaries v. 7.0. -Created region features from the polygon features. -Added the SQMI attribute and calculated its values. -Added POP2005 attribute from ESRI Community Data. -Added attribute POP05_SQMI and calculated its values. -Added and calculated SUMBLKPOP attribute by overlaying 2006 U.S. Census Block Centroid Populations then summing the Census Block centroids that fall within each ZIP Code area. -Converted the data set to SDC. -Created ArcGIS layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.
