- Abstract
- U.S. Three-Digit ZIP Code Areas represents the first three digits of a ZIP Code. The first digit of a five-digit ZIP Code divides the country into 10 large groups of states 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 or a mail processing facility area. These areas are serviced by the U.S. Post Office Sectional Center Facility (SCF). Note that a single SCF often services multiple three-digit areas.
- Purpose
- U.S. Three-Digit ZIP Code Areas provides area and population for each three-digit ZIP Code area in the United States.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format in ArcSDE®. This verifies and validates the geometry.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from many sources. The data set was generalized and maintains 90% of the topology for ZIP code polygons while reducing the file size to within 25% of the size. Generalizing reduced the positional accuracy and can't be determined.
