Type in any ZIP Code and obtain colorful charts and interesting tables that compare that ZIP Code to neighboring ZIP Codes and to the state and nation as a whole.

Hi, and thanks for the mention!
We’ll be experiencing a temporary outage on Saturday, December 1 as we move our servers to a new data center. So if you have trouble accessing ZIPskinny on Saturday, that’s why.
I’m sorry, but there are countless ERRORS in their data. For example, on their list of highest household median income zip-codes in the USA, at the very top of this list are 29202 (NY), and 28378 (rural NC), which according to them show ZERO college graduates living there, but both communities have a $200,000 median household income (seems impossible). On the list of highest-poverty zip-codes, I see 24950 (rural remote WV) in which 100% of the residents have under $10,000 household income, but yet 57% hold graduate professional degrees, 74% are divorced and 0% are married (ALL of these figures seem impossible). Also under highest-marriage rate communities, they include 60604 (downtown Chicago loop) supposedly having 100% married residents (seems very unlikely to me) and 20332 (a mistake, it should be 20032), the slum housing projects of Washington D.C. having 91% married couples (I know that neighborhood very well, and that figure cannot be true). On their list of highest-poverty zip codes in USA, are 10165 which, according to their map, is mid-town Manhattan NYC, where they say 100% of residents have college degrees but yet 100% are below the poverty level with a median household income is $2,499, again I say impossible (did they all “major” in art history or Greek mythology? On the other hand, much of the data does make sense: the lowest median age often being communities with orphanages, Indian reservations, Eskimos, or Mormon polygamist sects. Many of the highest-unemployment-rate communities on their list, seem to be University Campus neighborhoods.
“ZIPSkinny.com” does not seem to have on it, a place where I could leave any feedback or questions. MATT, would you let them know that much of their data is greatly flawed (as I described above), and needs to be fixed. Thanks.
Will do! Thanks Win!
Enjoyed the website. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I would recommend http://www.zipcodesmapped.com/ for any US zip code map.
You can use this to find any US zip code maps. You can search by (City, State OR Zip). they have all the maps showing zip codes and major mile streets in all of the united states. The service is free. Search for five Digit Zip Code and find the Maps for all 50 states. A Free ZIP Code Finder which can do wonders for you. Zip codes
Information from the census is for ZCTs (to my best understanding), which are a bit different from the zip codes used by the US postal service. Here’s another site that provides zip code data for the Census 2000.
