Question ID: 537509
How many 5-digit zip codes are there in Florida, and what are they?
Ideally, I'd like this broken down by residential and non-residential
zips.

Extra credit if the data includes corresponding cities and/or counties.

Actually, if you could come up with a source for Nationwide, 5 digit
zip codes, with population, I'd be set.

haystackinaneedle,

Please take a look at this file from the Census Bureau.
http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/newsletter/2000/jan/cenzuszipcodes.zip

This Equivalency file contains the 300 characters in the
identification section of the data dictionary used in all 1990 STF's.
It equates 1990 census block numbers with the areas that approximate
October 1991 ZIP Codes used by the USPS to deliver mail. The File
provides a 5-digit ZIP Code for each land block number within each
State with a few exceptions

The 1990 Zip Code by State file is comma separated values, ASCII text,
one record per line. The field/record layout is as follows:

Field 1 - State Fips Code 
Field 2 - 5-digit Zipcode 
Field 3 - State Abbreviation 
Field 4 - Zipcode Name 
Field 5 - Longitude in Decimal Degrees (West is assumed, no minus sign) 
Field 6 - Latitude in Decimal Degrees (North is assumed, no plus sign) 
Field 7 - 1990 Population (100%) 
Field 8 - Allocation Factor (decimal portion of state within zipcode) 

If this file serves your purpose, I could clean it up a bit and
present it to you in a Excel file. It would contain the 5-digit
Zipcode, Zipcode name,  State abbreviation and 1990 population.


Please let me know if this would meet your needs.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

This looks great, and answers my question. I don't need it cleaned up.
I'll double the payment for 2000 data rather than 1990.

data, however I'll take another look and get back to you as soon as
possible.

haystackinaneedle,

Iīm pleased that the file I provided in my clarification serves your purpose.

I did additional research and unfortunately didnīt find the exact same
information for 2000.

Perhaps the material at the Census Bureauīs Page of Zip Code
Statistics might be useful.
http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/zipstats.html

If I come across anything else during my searches I will let you know.

Best regards,
Bobbie7

I found another database of zip codes ( Census 2000 data ) that
contains the information you need, however it isnīt free.

"Our database contains all current data regarding ZIP codes, area
codes, city name, alias city names, two digit state code, city type,
county name, state FIPS, county FIPS, time zone, daylight savings
indicator, primary record indicator, latitude, longitude, county
elevation, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), MSA description name,
Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA), Core Based Statistical
Area (CBSA), Metro CBSA description name, and CBSA division. Our
database also provides Census 2000 data for the United States,
including population, households per zip code, average house value,
average income per household, white population, black population, and
hispanic population information."

You could have gotten this info free and easy. A web search on "zip
code demographics" would have turned up
http://www.melissadata.com/Lookups/countyzip.asp.
Also your local library probably has a copy of the book Zip Code Demographics.  
A call to your local library might produce better and free answers to
these types of questions.
