Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: NC CGIA Publication_Date: 20020416 Title: ZIP Code Tabulation Areas Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: www.nconemap.com Description: Abstract: This set of boundaries represent Zip Code Tabulation Areas (5-digit) as released by the US Bureau of the Census as cartographic boundary files based on Census 2000 geography. There are multiple polygons per 5-digit zip code in some cases. Statistical data are not joined to these boundaries. Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to provide approximate zip code boundaries as a context for other GIS themes and as a reference for statistical data from Census 2000, Zip Code Tabulation Areas. Supplemental_Information: These are cartographic boundary files, not at the same scale as TIGER/Line 2000 boundaries.
