links to interesting information; zip codes as defined by the post office are routes for a letter carrier, not areas, and may not be exactly what you imagine. The census folks make the Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA), somehow, from the routes.

Huge thanks for posting those!

Its nice to stay current.

Hey @MikeD_Anderson I second Byron_JMP! (many thanks)

Any chance you can post the 2023 (or most current) when you get a chance? These end up being handy quite often.

@PatrickGiuliano, & @Byron_JMP  - updated with the 2022 files.  Looks like they don't update them until later in Q3, so that's the latest.

Fantastic, thank you @MikeD_Anderson!

How do you use these two files?  I read the documentation on Map Shapes, but I don't understand it.  If I wanted to draw all of the zip code regions on a map and color them by their zip code value, is that possible with this dataset?

Hi @BHarris ,you just have to link the ZIP codes in your table to the IDs in the reference table:

new table ("zips", add rows(100000),New Column( "zip",
	Character,
	"Nominal",
	Set Property(
		"Map Role",
		Map Role( Shape Name Use( "C:\TEMP\US_ZIP5_2022-Name.jmp", "ZIP_CODE" ) )
	),
	Formula (Right(Char(row()),5,"0")
)));


Graph Builder(
	Summary Statistic( "Median" ),
	Graph Spacing( 4 ),
	Variables( Shape( :zip ) ),
	Elements( Map Shapes( Legend( 2 ) ) )
);

Thanks, I had been trying to set the map role of the Shape column in the "-Name" file over to the Shape column in the "-XY" file. 

If there is good documentation for how this works, I haven't been able to find it.

I just checked if LearnBot knows the answer:
