  3. Read the list. ZIP codes inside the circle, nearest first, with population and median household income.

Where the ZIP codes come from

ZIP codes are lists of delivery addresses, not areas, so the Census Bureau builds ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) from them. This page uses the 33,791 ZCTAs of the Census 2024 Gazetteer, each with an internal point inside it.

A ZIP is counted as within the radius when its internal point is inside the circle, measured with straight-line (geodesic) distance on the WGS84 ellipsoid. A large rural ZIP can overlap the edge of the circle without being listed, and a ZIP that is listed can extend beyond the circle.

Population and median household income are American Community Survey 2019–2023 five-year estimates.

Frequently asked questions

Is a ZCTA the same as a ZIP code?

Nearly. ZCTAs are built from the ZIP codes of the addresses in each Census block. PO-box-only and single-business ZIPs have no ZCTA and will not appear.

Is the radius a driving distance?

No, a straight line. Driving distances are longer; try the Drive Time Map for travel-based areas.

How are ZIPs on the edge handled?

By their internal point: inside the circle means listed. Large rural ZIPs on the edge can go either way.

Can I use a ZIP code as the centre?

Yes — type it in the ZIP box and press Go; the centre is that ZIP's internal point.

What is the largest radius?

250 miles.

Is the population current?

It is the latest five-year ACS estimate (2019–2023).
