Alone, your ZIP code might not be of much value all by itself, but criminals will take that information and post it on underground sites where they buy, sell and trade bunches of personal information. From those sites, criminals can purchase enough of your personal information to use it for fraud.

Block groups (BGs) are often wholly contained within a ZIP code area. But around the ZIP code area boundary, intersecting block groups are often split by the ZIP code boundary.

More specific geographic values -- There are approximately 50% more census tracts than ZIP Codes. More accurate geographic match -- census tracts are one of the specific geographic units by which census counts are presented; ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are used to approximate the geographic boundaries of ZIP Codes.

However, you can access geographic information, such as the state, county, tract number, block number, and block group number, about a particular address using the Census Geocoder. The Geocoder can be accessed at https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/geographies/address?form.

Census tracts aim to have about 4000 people in them, (zip codes average 8000 people, but vary greatly). Block groups are smaller and have ~1500 people each. Census blocks are the smallest division, about 40 blocks per group, but unlike census tracts they are highly variable (in terms of statistical demographics).

Numbered uniquely with a four-digit census block number ranging from 0000 to 9999 nesting within each census tract, which nest within state and county. The first digit of the census block number identifies the block group.

So what do the extra numbers mean? These last 4 digits represent specific delivery routes within delivery areas. This extra detail means an even more precise matching to a more granular level. It could represent a handful of houses on one side of a street, or even a single building that receives a high volume of mail.

Since zip codes do not always line up with census-defined blocks, ZCTAs were created in order to allow tabulation of data for zip code areas. A census block is placed in the ZCTA that corresponds to the majority of zip codes assigned to addresses in that block.
