ZIP Code Lookup is a reference tool that maps a five-digit postal code to its corresponding location data. The US Postal Service assigns unique ZIP codes to geographic areas; this tool reverses that assignment, converting a code into city name, state abbreviation, county, and approximate latitude/longitude coordinates for mapping and analysis.
Enter a valid five-digit ZIP code into the search field and click Lookup. The tool queries a comprehensive ZIP code database and returns the primary city, state, county, and geographic center coordinates. Results appear instantly; no internet connection required once the database loads. Some ZIP codes cover multiple cities or rural areas—the tool returns the most commonly recognized city for that code.

ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) is the US postal delivery system that divides the country into regions. The Post Office uses ZIP codes to sort and route mail efficiently. Each five-digit code represents a geographic area ranging from a few city blocks to large rural regions.
No, this tool covers only US postal codes. Other countries use different postal systems (UK postcodes, Canadian postal codes, etc.). Use your country's postal service website for non-US lookups.
Some ZIP codes serve more than one town, especially in rural areas. The tool displays the primary or largest city for that code. Contact the US Postal Service directly if you need to confirm which city handles a specific address.
ZIP code coordinates represent the geographic center of the postal area, not an exact street address. For precise property locations, use a full address on Google Maps or a dedicated geocoding service.
ZIP code boundaries rarely change, but new codes are occasionally created. The tool uses current USPS data; if you find an error, the postal service may have issued an update not yet reflected in the database.
This lookup tool searches one ZIP at a time. For bulk ZIP code data, visit the USPS.com website or download a CSV dataset from public sources like data.census.gov or opendata repositories.
