WHAT THIS DATA IS, AND IS NOT
A ZIP code is a set of mail routes, not an area. The Census Bureau
approximates most of them with ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs); the
population and areas here describe the ZCTA. ZIP codes with no ZCTA
(PO-box-only, single-organisation and military codes) have those fields
EMPTY. Empty means not measured. It never means zero.
Provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
