Field Data Type Description ZIPCode char(5) ZIP stands for Zoning Improvement Plan. It is used to signify a delivery route in the United States as designated by the USPS. In most cases a ZIP Code is a geographic region with a center point. ZIPType char(1) The USPS has assigned each ZIP Code a type. Why? It helps them sort mail more quickly. CityName varchar(64) The name of the city (and in some cases, organization) designated by that ZIP Code or postal code. CityType char(1) In many cases, a ZIP Code can have multiple names, meaning cities, towns, or subdivisions, in its boundaries. However, it will ALWAYS have exactly 1 default name. CountyName varchar(64) A county is the largest administrative division in most states. In our 5-digit USA Commercial Edition database, if a ZIP Code covers two counties, the primary county is used. In the Multi-county databases, all possible counties are listed with each county as a separate record. CountyFIPS char(5) Each county in the United States is assigned a unique number for identification purposes – a Federal Information Processing Standards or FIPS code. The County FIPS code is a combination of a 2-digit state FIPS code as well as a 3-digit county code as designated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). StateName varchar(64) A state in our database is a state, territory, province, or region as designated by the USPS. The database includes all United States territories and possessions that have been assigned ZIP Codes. StateAbbr char(2) A state code or abbreviation is a two character designation for that state – for example, California is CA and Texas is TX, etc. StateFIPS char(2) Each county in the United States is assigned a unique number for identification purposes – a Federal Information Processing Standards or FIPS code. The County FIPS code is a combination of a 2-digit state FIPS code as well as a 3-digit county code as designated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). MSACode char(4) MSAs or Metropolitan Statistical Areas, are 4-digit codes assigned to the roughly 340 metropolitan areas as designated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). They are primarily used to group cities together for statistical purposes or types of analysis. Latitude and longitude are a much more efficient way of accomplishing the same task. AreaCode varchar(20) In our USA 5-digit Premium Edition database, the area code listed is the primary or foremost area code for each ZIP Code. In our Commercial Edition databases (both the USA and Canada), if multiple area codes belong to one postal code, all area codes are listed and delimited by a slash / character. TimeZone varchar(16) The time zone to which that ZIP Code belongs. Only the primary time zone is listed for each ZIP Code. UTC decimal(3,1) The UTC offset is the number of hours the particular ZIP Code is from Universal Time Co-ordinated (UTC), the international time standard, also known as Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). DST char(1) The daylight savings time flag indicates if a particular ZIP Code obeys, or, in other words adjusts their clocks forward and back with the seasons. This information is particularly useful to determine time in other time zones with areas that may or may not use daylight savings time – for example, Arizona, Hawaii, and, of all places – Indiana. Latitude decimal(9,6) The latitude coordinate listed is an exact north/south point (to 6 decimal places) on the globe of the centroid or middle of the ZIP Code. Longitude decimal(9,6) The longitude coordinate listed is an exact east/west point (to 6 decimal places) on the globe of the centroid or middle of the ZIP Code.
