ZIPList5 Plus is a database of every city in the United States and its territories to which the US Postal Service delivers mail. The database contains the 5-digit zipcode, city name, state abbreviation, county name and county FIPS code, primary telephone areacode, timezone, and daylight saving time flag for each of the nearly 42,700 zipcodes defined by the USPS.

Search this comma delimited ASCII text file with your favorite text editor or import the file into any database program, such as MS Access, dBase, Paradox, FoxPro, etc. Also available in native Access, dBase, and Paradox formats. Other file formats are available upon request. You can also incorporate this data into your own applications to look up the city and state based on zipcode or areacode.

The most up-to-date 5-digit zipcode database available, this file includes all recent areacode changes.


Record Layout:
The data records of the ZIPList5 Plus file consist of nine quote-delimited, comma-separated, ASCII text fields, arranged as follows:

"City Name","State Code","Zipcode","Areacode","County FIPS code","County Name","Preferred flag","Timezone","DST"CRLF

The fields are defined as follows:

Field Type Length
City Name Variable length ASCII 28 maximum
State Code Fixed length ASCII 2
Zipcode Fixed length ASCII 5 numeric characters
Areacode Fixed length ASCII 3 numeric characters
County FIPS Fixed length ASCII 5 numeric characters
County Name Variable length ASCII 25 maximum
Preferred? Fixed length ASCII 1 ("P","A", or "N")
Timezone Variable length ASCII 5 maximum
DST Fixed length ASCII 1 ("Y" or "N")

The County FIPS code is a 5-digit numeric field containing a unique numeric identification assigned to that county by the US government. The County FIPS code field and the County Name field identify the "most prevalent" county for the 5-digit zipcode listed in a given record.

The Preferred? flag can have one of three states, which indicate how that name can be used for delivery of mail to the associated zipcode. The three states are:

  • P - This is the preferred city name for this zipcode
  • A - This city name is approved (but NOT preferred) for this zipcode
  • N - The city name is NOT approved for mail delivery to this zipcode
Some people object to using the "preferred" name specified by the US Postal Service; these people may instead use some other, locally preferred name. This can be quite confusing. Accordingly, we have included in the database these "alias" city names, along with the zipcodes to which they apply. This means that a particular zipcode may exist in a "preferred name" record and again in one or more "alias name" records.

The one preferred name record has the preferred field set to "P", while all alias name records have the preferred field set to "A" or "N". Note that in some cases a particular name may be preferred for some zipcodes but an alias name for other zipcodes. This frequently occurs when the exact political boundary between adjacent cities is obscure, leading people to use the two city names interchangeably within the boundary area.

The timezone field always contains the standard timezone designation for a particular zipcode. If that zipcode falls within a political entity which participates in Daylight Saving Time (DST) during the summer months, the DST field is set to "Y". Otherwise the DST field is set to "N".
