A ZIP+4 Code is a 4-digit extension of the standard 5-digit ZIP Code that enhances mail sorting and delivery efficiency by identifying specific delivery routes. ZIP Codes can cross county and state boundaries and do not correspond to geographic regions, as they are based on delivery routes rather than administrative lines. The USPS introduced the ZIP+4 system in 1983 to improve mail delivery precision.

ZIP Codes aren't drawn according to state boundaries. In fact,


since they are designed only to increase mailing efficiency, ZIP Codes can and
do cross county and state boundaries. For example:
• 42223 spans Christian County, Kentucky, and Montgomery County, Tennessee.
• 97635 includes portions of Lake County, Oregon, and Modoc County, California.
• 51023 and 51001 are in both Iowa and Nebraska.

Although most ZIP Codes can be roughly assigned to a geographic area, ZIP
Codes do not represent geographic regions. ZIP Codes denote street address
groups or delivery routes. Because of this, ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be
contained within another ZIP Code, or have no geographic area. For example,
ZIP Codes that start with 095 are assigned to the Navy and therefore have no
geographic location

system to include the new ZIP+4. A ZIP+4 Code uses the basic five-digit code
plus four additional digits for a full 9-digit ZIP Code. The full ZIP Code identifies
a small mail
aren't "boundaries." They're a collection of delivery routes. They don't follow
geographic or administrative boundary lines; they can cross city, county, and
state lines. They follow where the delivery trucks go and color all over those
boundary lines.
