Where the county data comes from
Each ZIP is matched to counties with the Census Bureau’s 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area to county relationship file, which measures how much of every ZIP area lies in every county. Results list every county with at least a sliver of the ZIP, largest share first. Lookups run in your browser from a static copy of that data, so a pasted list never leaves your device.
The CSV has one row per ZIP:
- county and county_fips: the county with the largest share of the ZIP
- county_share_pct: that county’s share of the ZIP’s land
- other_counties: every other county, with FIPS and share
FIPS codes keep counties with the same name apart: there are 30 Washington Counties. Format the column as text in Excel so leading zeros stay. For anything official about one address, like property tax or voter registration, pin the exact spot or check with the county itself.
Questions people actually ask
What county is my ZIP code in?
Type the ZIP above. If the whole ZIP is in one county, you’ll see it straight away. If it’s split, you’ll see every county it touches and how much of the ZIP’s land is in each. For a split ZIP, pin the exact spot on the ZIP code finder to see the county for one home.
Why is my ZIP code in more than one county?
ZIP codes follow mail delivery routes from a post office, and those routes cross county lines freely. In 2020 Census data, 30% of ZIP code areas touch more than one county and 2,546 touch three or more.
How do I convert a list of ZIP codes to counties?
Paste the list into the box, separated by commas, spaces or new lines, and press Find the county. You get a table and a CSV with the main county, its FIPS code, its share of the ZIP and any other counties. Up to 1,000 ZIPs at a time.
What do the percentages mean?
Each figure is the share of the ZIP’s land area that lies in that county. It’s a good guide to where most addresses are, but not a population count: a small slice of land can hold a dense neighborhood.
Why does my ZIP show no county?
PO Box ZIPs, single-building ZIPs and some military and organization ZIPs have no area on Census maps, so they can’t be matched to a county boundary. The result still shows the city they’re delivered from.
