How Our Data Works

ZipCodeFacts uses public and licensed datasets to build comprehensive ZIP code profiles. Here are our primary sources.

U.S. Census Bureau (ACS)

Population, median household income, housing values, and demographic characteristics from the American Community Survey. ACS estimates are typically released annually with a 1\u20132 year lag.

Zillow Research (ZHVI)

Zillow Home Value Index tracks typical home values and appreciation trends at the ZIP code level. ZHVI data provides 1-month to 5-year trend analysis for thousands of U.S. markets.

USDA RUCA Codes

Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes from the USDA classify each ZIP code as Urban, Suburban, or Rural based on population density and commuting patterns.

Data transparency note: All data on ZipCodeFacts comes from public or licensed sources. Data may be estimated, delayed, or incomplete for some ZIP codes. Census data is reported by ZCTA (ZIP Code Tabulation Area), which may not perfectly match postal ZIP code boundaries. Always verify critical decisions with official sources and licensed professionals.
