I have a better and more recent one, courtesy of yours truly (don't spread it around):

http://therobert.org/stuff/misc/5-digit%20Commercial.csv

7.7MB | February 2008

I need a database that shows the population in each zip code, too. If any good Samaritan can share, that would be great.



The census will generate that database for you:

Go to http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DCGeoSelectServlet?ds_n...

Click "All 5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Areas"

Click "GO"

Click "P1. Total Population"

Click "Add"

Click "Next"

Click "Start Download"


> don't spread it around Why not? Is it not public domain, or are you worried about the load on your server, or what?


The latter. You're free to upload it elsewhere and spread it, however.


bzip2 it. It will slash the size to a fraction of its current size.




That seems useful, but it's more aggregated data (by state & region, not zip).
