- Abstract This data set contains zip code tabulation areas for 5-digit zip codes in New Mexico. It was obtained from the U.S. Census
Bureau web page http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/zt.html.
The metadata at this site is so poor that this metadata record has been created. Technical details are available from the
technical documentation at http://www.census.gov/geo/ZCTA/zctatddr.pdf. A ZIP Code tabulation area (ZCTA ) is a statistical
geographic entity that approximates the delivery area for a U.S. Postal Service five-digit or three-digit ZIP Code. ZCTAs
are aggregations of census blocks that have the same predominant ZIP Code associated with the addresses in the U.S. Census
Bureau's Master Address File. Three -digit ZCTA codes are applied to large contiguous areas for which the U.S. Census Bureau
does not have five-digit ZIP Code information in its Master Address File. ZCTAs do not precisely depict ZIP Code delivery
areas, and do not include all ZIP Codes used for mail delivery. The U.S. Census Bureau has established ZCTAs as a new geographic
entity similar to, but replacing, data tabulations for ZIP Codes undertaken in conjunction with the 1990 and earlier censuses.
- Purpose To show the zip code tabulation areas.
