>From the page which Bryce referred to in >http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-September/011738.html >comes the following passage:
"The term ZCTA was created to differentiate between this entity and true USPS ZIP Codes. ZCTA is a trademark of the U.S. Census Bureau; ZIP Code is a trademark of the U.S. Postal Service." Therefore, ZCTA information _approximates_ ZIP information for census purposes. If you want to map/use ZIP code information, don't use the ZCTA information to do it, I would infer.--ceyockey _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
