Census tracts are statistical subdivisions of a county that aim to have roughly 4,000 inhabitants. Tract boundaries are usually visible features, such as roads or rivers, but they can also follow the boundaries of national parks, military reservations, or American Indian reservations.

Census tracts are small, relatively permanent geographic entities within counties (or the statistical equivalents of counties) delineated by a com- mittee of local data users. Generally, census tracts have between 2,500 and 8,000 residents and boundaries that follow visible features.

ZIP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city) and the fourth and fifth digits representing a group of delivery addresses within that region.

The boundaries of ZIP Codes and census tracts often don't match. If looking up which census tracts relate to a single ZIP Code, that overlap of boundaries doesn't create a major problem in terms of relative social and economic characteristics, but the counts won't be precise.

Census tracts have well known/exact boundaries. ZIP codes are groups of lines whose exact structural definition is not officially established.

A Census tract is roughly the size of a neighborhood, but may not correspond to actual neighborhoods or city boundaries. Census tracts are a useful tool to compare different areas across a city, state or country to one another.

The Census Bureau offers a few statistical products by ZIP Code through our economic surveys. These data are available through data.census.gov. Please contact the US Postal Service for additional information about ZIP codes.

Yes. Not only can a street be in different zip codes; but buildings can and do have multiple zip codes by floor, suite, company, or any division that produces significant mail for sorting, bundling, and delivery.
