ZIP® Codes are generated by the
United States Post Office (USPS) and are constantly
updated and maintained by them. We update our ZIP®
Code list once a year based on the USPS database.
According to the USPS, ZIP® Code updates amount
to less than 0.1% of the total number of ZIP® Codes,
per year. These days, very few ZIP codes are deleted and
very few new ZIP codes are added each year.
According to
https://wikipedia.org, in 2015 there were a
little over 42,000 ZIP® Codes in the United States.
ZIP® Codes are used for tracking U.S. mail and gathering
geographical statistics in the United States. Because
ZIP® Codes are the cornerstone of the USPS mail distribution system, USPS has
long resisted changing them for any reason other
than to improve the efficiency of mail delivery.
For the purposes of marketing to specific media
markets, our ZIP® Code database serves our customers
well, at a
fair price!
