ZIP Codes span more than one county around 20% of the time. Many ZIP Codes cross several counties and some even cross into other states. This Counties by ZIP Code database identifies and lists ZIP Codes that span multiple counties along with an approximation of the ZIP Code's coverage area within the county. It can be used to isolate one-to-one County to ZIP Code relationships and to identify all ZIP Codes within a given county’s boundary.

It is a one-to-many (ZIP Code-to-County) database and includes: all counties by ZIP Code, an estimate of the county percentage covered by each ZIP Code, a sequence showing the predominate counties for each ZIP Code, plus much more (see features at right).
