United States's Postal Code Format

The United States uses a “ZIP code” system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, the United States has 41,344 postal codes covering 3,197 regions and 52,971 towns.
  • Postal Code Format: 99999

    • Five-digit numeric format (ZIP codes)
    • 1st digit = group of states; 2nd–3rd = large city/processing area; 4th–5th = delivery zone
    • Optional ZIP+4 (9-digit) extension exists, not included in GeoPostcodes
    • 41,344 postal codes covering 3,197 regions and 52,971 towns

    Regional Examples:

    • 10001 - New York, NY
    • 60601 - Chicago, IL
    • 94105 - San Francisco, CA
    • 33130 - Miami, FL
  • Structure of Postal Codes

    • Format: 5-digit numeric (e.g., 10001); optional ZIP+4 for extended precision.
    • Hierarchical levels: ZIPs define routing/delivery zones; they may cross county or even state boundaries and don’t encode admin units.
    • Key challenges: ZIPs can span multiple towns/counties; large unpopulated areas lack ZIPs; military/overseas ZIPs require special handling.
  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: United States Postal Service (USPS).
    • Update frequency: USPS updates monthly; GeoPostcodes integrates bi-monthly.
    • Special cases: Military ZIPs (APO/FPO/DPO) and dependent territories (e.g., Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa) are part of the system.
  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: [Name / Attention] + [House number + Street name] + [City] [State abbreviation] [ZIP Code].
    • Administrative divisions used: States and counties appear in addresses, but ZIP logic does not follow these boundaries.
    • Notes: USPS designates a “primary town” per ZIP that may override the local town name for delivery.
  • Special Characteristics

    • ZIP+4 exists but is copyrighted and excluded from GeoPostcodes products.
    • Some ZIPs serve only PO Boxes or business addresses.
    • APO/FPO/DPO ZIPs map to Armed Forces regions (AA, AE, AP) for overseas mail.
    • U.S. dependent territories use ZIP codes and maintain distinct ISO country/region codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the United States has 5-digit postal codes. 

60653 is a US ZIP Code located in Chicago, Illinois. This delivery area covers a section of the South Side of Chicago, specifically parts of the Bronzeville neighborhood.

10004 is a US ZIP Code serving lower Manhattan in New York City, specifically covering parts of the Financial District. This delivery area includes prominent destinations like Battery Park and is distinctly different from ZIP Codes in states like Alabama, Florida, or Ohio.

The last four digits that sometimes follow this ZIP Code (10004-XXXX) help identify the specific street or building within this section of the city.

A valid U.S. ZIP Code consists of five digits (and optionally, four additional digits separated by a hyphen). USPS uses these codes to deliver mail throughout the USA efficiently.

Unlike postal codes in some other countries, US Zip Codes do not contain letters. Every delivery area in all 50 states (including Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia, Vermont, Nevada, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island) plus territories like American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the District of Columbia has at least one assigned ZIP Code to help find specific destinations.

23401 is a US ZIP Code assigned to a delivery area in the eastern section of Virginia. Specifically, this number corresponds to Keller, a city on Virginia’s Eastern Shore region, part of the Delmarva Peninsula. This zip code is not associated with West Virginia or other states like Kentucky or Alabama.

US ZIP codes are five-digit numbers identifying specific delivery areas throughout the United States. While they generally follow state boundaries, there are interesting exceptions where ZIP Codes serve communities across state lines.

For example, some residents near the West Virginia border might share a ZIP code with neighboring communities in Maryland or Virginia, depending on mail processing logistics.

When searching for information about a particular area, you always have the option to look up the official US ZIP code boundaries through the USPS website, which shows exactly which streets and addresses belong to each US ZIP code region.
