About this dataset

Zip code boundaries in Mecklenburg County NC. A   ZIP Code   (an acronym for   Zone Improvement Plan ) is a system of   postal codes   used by the   United States Postal Service   (USPS). The term   ZIP   was chosen to suggest that the   mail   travels more efficiently and quickly  when senders use the code in the   postal address. Introduced on July 1, 1963, the basic format comprised five digits. In 1983, an extended code was introduced named  ZIP+4; it included the five digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four digits that designated a more specific location.
