Don't add up the ZIP Code data by allocating all of the data for each census tract to each ZIP Code which overlaps with each census tract and then summing the results; many of the census tracts would be counted multiple times unless additional steps were taken to deduplicate them.
Instead, leave ZIP Codes out of the calculation and just add up the data for the selected area by census tract. In the four-county Orlando metropolitan area multiple ZIP Codes exist in the census tracts times. For example, Lake County census tract The tables below include lines for each of those external census tracts, but those external census tract numbers are not listed in the Census Tract column see instead the Tract Code column.

More accurate geographic match -- census tracts are one of the specific geographic units by which census counts are presented; ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are used to approximate the geographic boundaries of ZIP Codes.
Better aggregation of geographic boundaries for comparisons with municipal and county data -- Census tracts do not cross county lines and typically break out data for incorporated places. Less frequent boundary changes -- Census tracts tend to be stable for 10 years or more.
Postal Service adjusts to maintain efficient delivery zones. Understandable boundary changes -- Changes in ZIP Codes may make it difficult to determine whether a change in a data value over time is due to actual changes in the population or because lines were redrawn.
The remaining residential addresses in that ZIP So, for example, if one wanted to allocate data from ZIP code to each Census tract located in that ZIP code, one would multiply the number of observations in the ZIP code by the residential ratio for each tract associated with that ZIP code. Note that the sum of each ratio column for each distinct ZIP code may not always equal 1.
The decimal is implied and leading and trailing zeros have been preserved. In these files the denominators used to calculate the address ratios are the totals of each type of address in the tract, county or CBSA. All three files share an identical structure with the exception of the geographic codes in the first column, which differs between the three crosswalk files — CBSA, County, and Tract — respectively. In the example below tract is split by two different ZIP codes, and , which appear in the ZIP column.
The ratio of residential addresses in the first tract-ZIP record to the total number of residential addresses in the tract is. The remaining residential addresses in that tract So, for example, if one wanted to allocate data from Census tract to the ZIP code level, one would multiply the number of observations in the Census tract by the residential ratio for each ZIP code associated with that Census tract. Since the HUD geocoding base map is updated regularly, an effort is made to re-geocode these records with every new quarter of data.
As a result, these crosswalk files will be generated on a quarterly basis and may differ slightly from quarter to quarter. We try to publish the Crosswalk Files by the end of the month following the quarter.
For example, we aim to publish fourth quarter by the end of January, first quarter by the end of April, and so on. Do ZIP Codes align with political or administrative boundaries? ZIP Codes do not align with political or administrative boundaries. ZIP Codes frequently cross county, city, and town jurisidctions. ZIP Codes may also potentially cross state borders.
ZIP Codes have the potential to intersect with multiple geographies. The ratio fields describe the percentage of the respective addresses that fall in both that ZIP Code and each county. As addresses are created or removed, this changes the ratios in the associated geographies. Why is there a large jump in the number of addresses from to ?
Many students also use the files. Skip to main content. When are Crosswalk Files typically posted? Are names for ZIP codes available?
