List of Zip Codes with Cities and States Needed

[Jim Bridges]

If you have limited need, there is a list organized alphabetically by
state & city in the World Almanac. If you have a way to scan it
electronically, the opportunity to develop a database is there!

We use a company called Vertex to get tax rates of cities, counties, and
states (along with countires like Puerto Rico). They're really reliable,
and my users have informed me that the rates are always accurate. They're
from the Philadelphia area, and they send out updates once a month.

OK, I must be feeling sorry for folks out here.

I took my last tape from the USPS (feb 90) and created a data file that
has: ZipCode, RecordType, State, PlaceName, USPSName, CountyNumber, and
CountyName. This is a comma seperated file with quotes around the
PlaceName, USPSName, and CountyName fields.

It is 4MB in size (~83,000 zip codes, what do you expect), BUT ...

I have PKZipped it and it is only about 840,000.

Sooooo, anyone need it? have a suggestion for a central place for it? a
suggestion for distribution? (I hesitate to send it out over the
internet, a bit too large, but ...)
