[Mapserver-users] Zip code boundary shapefiles

[kallwn]

Depending upon your needs these may or may not be suitable for 2 reasons.

1) these are Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA). They are approximations of
the actual zip code delivery areas and not the actual zip codes.
2) the post office realign zip codes about every 6-9 months (when/where
needed).

Since the US Census Bureau have problems working with the USPS zip codes
these are basically compromises.
