Find Data Profiles for a Zip Code Tabulation Area

Zip Code Tabulation Areas ( ZCTAs)

ZCTAs are generalized area representations of US Post Office zip code service areas.
   Some addresses will have  a ZCTA that is different from their USPS zip code
   Some USPS ZIP Codes represent very few addresses. These are not assigned a ZCTA.
The above and more information about ZCTAs are available on census.gov .
