This is some older code, that did just that, find all zip codes in a certain
radius.  I need to modify it somewhat.  You are correct, I want the sum
of.... Let me show you...

SELECT b.zipcode, 
       b.inc_level1, b.inc_level2,
      (3956 * (2 * 
ASIN(SQRT(POWER(SIN(((a.latitude-b.latitude)*0.017453293)/2),2) +
COS(a.latitude*0.017453293) * COS(b.latitude*0.017453293) *
POWER(SIN(((a.longitude-b.longitude)*0.017453293)/2),2))))) AS distance
FROM zipcodes a, zipcodes b
 WHERE a.zipcode = "94949"
 GROUP BY distance having distance <= "10"

+---------+------------+------------+----------+
| zipcode | inc_level1 | inc_level2 | distance |
+---------+------------+------------+----------+
| 94949   |        164 |        156 | 0.000000 |
| 94903   |        227 |        231 | 3.241369 |
| 94947   |        268 |        323 | 3.393376 |
| 94945   |        132 |        152 | 4.120687 |
| 94960   |         60 |         77 | 5.588795 |
| 94930   |         55 |         62 | 5.847434 |
| 94973   |         88 |         70 | 6.533081 |
| 94901   |        339 |        317 | 6.603527 |
| 94904   |         51 |         68 | 7.685091 |
| 94963   |         22 |         19 | 8.085156 |
| 94946   |         21 |         20 | 8.495255 |
| 94939   |         38 |         49 | 8.640175 |
| 94933   |         48 |         28 | 8.865090 |
| 94938   |         30 |         16 | 9.367796 |
| 94925   |         46 |         65 | 9.750440 |
+---------+------------+------------+----------+

That gives me 15 rows, but I only need one, which would be the total of each
of the income level columns, distance is not important to me, that's the one
row I want back
