US map of zipcodes

[ChrisKeran]

Does anyone have a US zipcode map file?
I'd like to plot some data by US zipcode onto a map of US zipcodes.  The
built in one for SPSS is for states, but not for zipcodes.

Hi Chris,

You can check out the Census Bureau's Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) files. They are not exact delivery areas, but represent a pointer to a shapefile that approximates the Postal Service's ZIP code table. There are quite a few datasets available by ZCTA.

Start here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/zctas.html

Thanks, Robert. I did find those shape files. Have you had any luck
converting a .shp file into an .smz file using the Utilities>Map Conversion
Utility? This hasn't worked for me.

Hey Chris,

No, but I have used them in conjunction with population estimates for producing overlay maps in Tableau, where it works quite well when appended to client databases.
