Abstract:
This dataset represents Florida ZIP Code Areas (Five-Digit) used by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail more effectively. This layer represents an update to the FGDL layer ZIPBND_2009.shp.
Purpose:
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.
Supplemental_Information:
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.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center downloaded the zip code boundary data (zip_poly.shp) from the ESRI 9.3.1 Data and Maps DVD.
Reprojected the data from GCS_WGS_1984 to FGDL NAD83 Albers (HPGN). See below for full original metadata.
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984", DATUM["D_WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
GeoPlan added the following five zip code boundaries to the dataset. GOODLAND (34140) EVERGLADES CITY (34139) CHOKOLOSKEE (34138) WELAKA (32193) TALLAHASSEE (32399) After adding the five extra zip code boundaries the attribute table was then updated for these records.
Next the 2005 census data from the ZIPBND_2007.shp was appended to the table.
GeoPlan then added the following fields to the dataset. DESCRIPT - Based on PO_NAME FGDLAQDATE - Based on data the data was downloaded from the Source.

The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2012 Zip Code Boundaries data layer.
Existing data sources were reprojected to the following map projection, Albers Conical Equal Area [Florida Geographic Data Library] Projection: Albers False_Easting: 400000.000000 False_Northing: 0.000000 Central_Meridian: -84.000000 Standard_Parallel_1: 24.000000 Standard_Parallel_2: 31.500000 Central_Parallel: 24.000000 Linear Unit: Meter (1.000000)

The data sources found below were merged into one layer.
Next tabular data from the ESRI data layer was used to update the census information.

The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted the data set from Tele Atlas MultiNet Post 2010.03. Attached and formatted the STATE field from 2009 Data Update U.S. ZIP Code Areas (Five-Digit). Added the SQMI field and calculated its values. Added the POP2010 field from ESRI Data. Added the POP10_SQMI field and calculated its values. Added and calculated the SUMBLKPOP field by overlaying U.S. Census Block Centroid Populations and 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. - Process Date: 20100521 Contact: ESRI Tele Atlas MultiNet Post v. 2010.03 380 New York Street Redlands, California 92373-8100 909-793-2853 info@esri.com ArcGIS Content Team

Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
