Hi Steve,
No worries. Seemed like most of the reasons I'd heard about
importing ZIP code data is that it is either linear or point
specific in nature and the imports were attempts to use areas to
implement them, usually based on census data.
I just wondered if getting ZIP codes for objects

There's also the problem that the Census has just made stuff up for areas
that are not covered by ZIP codes at all. One instance that came

Charles,
Thanks for starting the dialog and being willing to work on a project like
this.
Those are not exactly the same as postal zip codes, they are specific for
census purposes, so the community may want to keep that in mind.

Charles,
The zipcode information from census.gov aren't official zipcodes. Only the
USPS knows those and they don't give them out very often. Also, zip codes
are not polygons, but lines. Also, the data from Census is from 2010 and
hasn't been updated since. It's my opinion that they should not be

Hi,
I have a shape file from census.gov which contains the boundaries for all zip

Hi Charles,
Thanks for willing to help out getting better ZIP code coverage into
OSM. Importing from Census however is not the way to go, for reasons
Ian pointed out just now. I would add that OSM already contains higher
level administrative boundaries, most of which also derive from Census
data.
Formally, the Census product is called ZCTAs - Zip Code Tabulation Areas,
and they are polygons. They are useful in a variety of operations internal
to Census Bureau, and externally as part of the transportation planning
program but, as others have pointed out, they are NOT official Zip codes.
