The USPS Striving for Better Zip Code Partnerships

The USPS is looking to improve its relationship with top zip code database providers like zipcodedownload.com.  There
seems to be a lot of old and out dated zip code data in the market being promoted as Free zip code data.  The USPS has not authorized these vendors to give away old zip code data and to promote it as new data.  There are very few authorized zip code database resllers like zipcodedownload.

At zipcodedownload we are proud of our 12 year partnership with the Unitest States Postal Service.  For over 10 years we havwe been the #1 provider of zip code data in the world.  We plan to improve and offer more products as we continue to grow.  Thank you for your trust!

Different ways to use a zip code database

How about Dating and Valentine's Day? One company decided to sift through household, gender, city and neighborhood data in America.  The goal to find the best place for singles that match you.  The company used data sets for many thousands of ZIP codes, then sliced, diced and manipulated the zip code database using data analysis and statistical software.  They determined that labor markets are typically the determining factor. Men outnumber women in regions that have a higher proportion of technology, manufacturing and construction jobs. Women outnumber men most in places with more professional services jobs and in bigger cities.

Local industries may play a large role in gender populations for cities. Neighborhoods are a more genuine reflection of where people want to live. So for each of the 10 largest metropolitan areas, he calculated the ZIP codes with the highest ratio of men to women, and women to men.

The zip code database from zipcodedownload.com was an essential peice in compiling the data.  Now you know where to go to look for a date.
