MassGIS had received quarterly updates of these data as part of its license for the HERE (Navteq) core map release (streets and related data); however, that license has expired. These ZIP Code boundaries are aligned to the street centerlines of the Q2 2018 HERE product (with a release date of April 1, 2018) and use a then-recent USPS source file.In March 2024, MassGIS modified the boundaries for all ZIP Code areas in Boston based on the U.S. Postal Service's ZIP Code Look Up by Address website. MassGIS also added polygons for ZIP Codes 02199 and 02203.Five-digit ZIP Codes were developed by the USPS and first introduced in 1963 for efficient mail delivery (the term ZIP stands for Zone Improvement Plan) but are difficult to map with complete certainty. In most cases, addresses in close proximity to each other are grouped in the same ZIP Code, which gives the appearance that ZIP Codes are defined by a clear geographic boundary. However, even when ZIP Codes appear to be geographically grouped, a clear ZIP Code boundary cannot always be drawn because ZIP Codes are only assigned to a point of delivery and not the spaces between delivery points. In areas without a regular postal route or no mail delivery, ZIP Codes may not be defined or have unclear boundaries.The USPS does not maintain an official ZIP Code map. The Census Bureau and many other commercial services will interpolate the data to create polygons to represent the approximate area covered by a ZIP code, but none of these maps are official or entirely accurate. Please see this good discussion of the issues of mapping ZIP Codes.See full metadata.Map service also available.

The Massachusetts Vehicle Census Annual Zip Code dataset contains annualized aggregations for annual VMT (Vehicle Miles Travelled) grouped by postal Zip Code, municipality, and vehicle attribute. The dataset uses excise tax data and annual vehicle inspection odometer readings as data inputs. Annual VMT is calculated by a vehicle's estimated daily mileage multiplied by the amount of days a vehicle is actively registered in its corresponding Zip Code.

This data set summarizes participation by Cambridge residents by zip code in three public benefit programs, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Families with Dependent Children (TADFC), and Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled, and Children (EAEDC). Data was drawn from Monthly Caseload by Zip Code reports published by the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA), which have been published monthly since August 2017.

More information about these food and cash assistance programs, and the complete Monthly Caseload by Zip Code reports, which include program utilization data from all Massachusetts zip codes, may be found on the DTA website:
