Description: <div>U.S. ZIP Code Boundaries 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 (or equivalent areas) 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 (SCF) or a mail processing
facility area. The fourth and fifth digits identify a post office,
station, branch or local delivery area.</div><div><br /></div>This layer is updated annually.
