Bring the question down to a ZIP.
Heritage Search connects 39,487 operational ZIP records from master-clean, with 33,703 direct Census ZCTA relationships. Its selected ZIP summaries help you look closer at a place. They are separate from the full published city-market ranking lists above.
City markets group ZIPs assigned to a primary city and state and meet a 50,000-resident source threshold. They are not municipal or CBSA metro boundaries. Source rank denominators refer to published positive estimates; missing areas are not zero. Margins of error for these rollups are not supplied. Community feed version 1.0.0.
