Thread: Public Database of zip code information

Public Database of zip code information

From
Adam Haberlach
Date:
    Sometime in the past year, someone mentioned a database that
contained zipcode, lat/long, and city information--does anyone else
remember this, or should I check into a drug clinic?

    I'm pretty much looking for a way to correlate zip, city,
and/or geographic locations.

You mean this one:

    http://ftp.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places.html

It sure helped me too!

Note the web page says the data is from 1990, but there were continual
updates over the last decade.  I hope to see 2000's data soon.
