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 up during last autumn's storms in California among FurryMUCK's denizens was one of the power companies announcing that they were aware of outages in ZIP codes that don't exist, because the Census's version of ZIP codes include areas that get no postal service whatsoever. > additionally, since this would be an import, i recommend bringing it > up with the US Imports committee. you don't have to go there, but > you do have to get it checked off in the imports mailing list in any > case. I would strongly advise against importing ZIP codes as polygons. This is really more of point data for the Karlsruhe schema to be entered as applicable.
