Abstract

A crosswalk table from US postal ZIP codes to geo-points (latitude, longitude)

Documentation

Data source: public.opendatasoft.

The ZIP code database contained in 'zipcode.csv' contains 43204 ZIP codes for the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa. The database is in comma separated value format, with columns for ZIP code, city, state, latitude, longitude, timezone (offset from GMT), and daylight savings time flag (1 if DST is observed in this ZIP code and 0 if not).

This database was composed using ZIP code gazetteers from the US Census Bureau from 1999 and 2000, augmented with additional ZIP code information The database is believed to contain over 98% of the ZIP Codes in current use in the United States. The remaining ZIP Codes absent from this database are entirely PO Box or Firm ZIP codes added in the last five years, which are no longer published by the Census Bureau, but in any event serve a very small minority of the population (probably on the order of .1% or less). Although every attempt has been made to filter them out, this data set may contain up to .5% false positives, that is, ZIP codes that do not exist or are no longer in use but are included due to erroneous data sources. The latitude and longitude given for each ZIP code is typically (though not always) the geographic centroid of the ZIP code; in any event, the location given can generally be expected to lie somewhere within the ZIP code's "boundaries".The ZIP code database contained in 'zipcode.csv' contains 43204 ZIP codes for the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa.

This dataset mainly provides a matching table of 3-digit postal codes and the coordinates of administrative district centers.

The 2005 First Edition TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER database. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on the latest available governmental unit boundaries. The Census TIGER database represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation. The 2005 First Edition TIGER/Line files consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. The files contain information distributed over a series of record types for the spatial objects of a county. There are 19 record types, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate points, and geographic codes that can be used with appropriate software to prepare maps. Other geographic information contained in the files includes attributes such as feature identifiers/census feature class codes (CFCC) used to differentiate feature types, address ranges and ZIP Codes, codes for legal and statistical entities, latitude/longitude coordinates of linear and point features, landmark point features, area landmarks, and area boundaries.

This dataset denotes ZIP Code centroid locations weighted by population. Population weighted centroids are a common tool for spatial analysis, particularly when more granular data is unavailable or researchers lack sophisticated geocoding tools. The ZIP Code Population Weighted Centroids allows researchers and analysts to estimate the center of population in a given geography rather than the geometric center.

A comprehensive self-hosted geospatial database of street names, coordinates, and address data ranges for Enterprise use. The address data are georeferenced with industry-standard WGS84 coordinates (geocoding).

For many countries lat/lng are determined with an algorithm that searches the place names in the main geonames database using administrative divisions and numerical vicinity of the postal codes as factors in the disambiguation of place names. For postal codes and place name for which no corresponding toponym in the main geonames database could be found an average lat/lng of 'neighbouring' postal codes is calculated. Please let us know if you find any errors in the data set.

The Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) is a digital file which provides a correspondence between the Canada Post Corporation (CPC) six-character postal code and Statistics Canada's standard geographic areas for which census data and other statistics are produced. Through the link between postal codes and standard geographic areas, the PCCF permits the integration of data from various sources. The Single Link Indicator provides one best link for every postal code, as there are multiple records for many postal codes. New to the June 2022 version, a separate data file is available for retired postal codes. The retired file uses the same record layout as the PCCF file. The same syntax file can be used for both the PCCF data file and the retired data file. The geographic coordinates attached to each postal code on the PCCF are commonly used to map the distribution of data for spatial analysis (e.g., clients, activities). The location information is a powerful tool for planning, or research purposes. The geographic coordinates, which represent the standard geostatistical areas linked to each postal codeOM on the PCCF, are commonly used to map the distribution of data for spatial analysis (e.g., clients, activities). The location information is a powerful tool for marketing, planning, or research purposes. In April 1983, the Statistical Registers and Geography Division released the first version of the PCCF, which linked postal codesOM to 1981 Census geographic areas and included geographic coordinates. Since then, the file has been updated on a regular basis to reflect changes. For this release of the PCCF, the vast majority of the postal codesOM are directly geocoded to 2016 Census geography while others are linked via various conversion processes. A quality indicator for the confidence of this linkage is available in the PCCF.

"This file provides digital data for all 1990 precensus map features, the associated 1990 census initial tabulation geographic area codes, such as 1990 census block numbers, and the codes for the Jan. 1, 1990 political areas on both sides of each line segment of every mapped feature. The data contain basic information on 1990 census geographic area codes, feature names, and address ranges in the form of ten ""Record Types."" The Census Bureau added four new record types in response to some us er and vendor requests to provide point and area information contained in the Census Bureau's Precensus Map sheets that is not contained in the Precensus TIGER/Line files. The record types include: Basic data records (individual Feature Segment Records), shape coordinate points (feature shape records), additional decennial census geographic area codes, index to alternate feature names, feature name list, additional address range and zip code data, landmark features, area landmarks, area boundaries, and polygon location. Each segment record contains appropriate decennial census and FIPS geographic area codes, latitude/longitude coordinates, the name of the feature (including the relevant census feature class code identifying the segment by category), and, for areas formerly covered by the GBF/DIME-Files, the address ranges and ZIP code associated with those address ranges for each side of street segments. For other areas, the TIGER?Line files do not contain address ranges or ZIP Codes. The shape records provide coordinate values that describe the shape of those feature segments that are not straight."

Overview The PCCF+ is a SAS control program and set of associated datasets derived from the PCCF, a 2021 postal code population weight file, the Geographic Attribute File, Health Region boundary files, and other supplementary data. PCCF+ automatically assigns a range of Statistics Canada standard geographic areas and other geographic identifiers based on postal codes. PCCF+ differs from the PCCF in that it: Uses population-weighted random allocation for many postal codes that link to more than one geographic area. Options are available for institutional postal codes. Procedures are included to link partial postal codes to geographic identifiers where possible. Problem records and diagnostics are provided in the program output, along with reference information for possible solutions. The geographic coordinates, which represent the standard geostatistical areas linked to each postal code on the PCCF, are commonly used to map the distribution of data for spatial analysis (e.g., clients, activities). In April 1983, the Geography Division released the first version of the PCCF, which linked postal codes to 1981 census geographic areas and included geographic coordinates. PCCF+ was first created using the 1986 census and has been updated regularly with population weight files calculated for each census from 1991 through 2021. Purpose of PCCF+ The purpose of the PCCF+ is to provide a link between six-character postal codes produced by the Canada Post Corporation (CPC), standard 2021 Census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas, census subdivisions, and census tracts) produced by Statistics Canada, and supplementary administrative areas and neighbourhood income quintiles. Postal codes do not respect census geographic boundaries and so may be linked to more than one standard geographic area, or assigned to more than one set of coordinates. Therefore, one postal code may be represented by more than one record. The PCCF product, produced by Statistics Canada, provides links between postal codes and all recorded matches to census geography. PCCF+ uses the PCCF but provides additional functionality in that it uses a population-weighted matching process for some residential postal codes where more than one geographic code is possible. PCCF+ also provides routines for institutional postal codes and for historic postal codes. The PCCF+ Version 8B includes a population-weighting file calculated from the 2021 Census population counts Neighbourhood income quintiles and deciles have been calculated from 2021 Census population data. The routine that allowed geocoding of historical postal codes in British Columbia (V1H, V9G, prior 1998) has been removed.
