NYC Neighborhoods & ZIP Codes

• ZIP codes are USPS mail-delivery areas, not neighborhood or borough boundaries. Several ZIPs straddle neighborhood lines (e.g. 11385 covers both Ridgewood and Glendale) and a few straddle borough/county lines (10463 Manhattan/Bronx; 11370 Queens/Bronx).
• area_name values are grouped official area names published by NYC DOHMH (Modified ZCTA neighborhood names, with UHF neighborhood groupings as a second government source). They are intentionally grouped; no finer-grained neighborhood claim is made than the cited source supports. Additional commonly used neighborhood names, where present in the note field, come from non-government pages and are marked with their source URL.
• postal_city is the USPS preferred (primary) city for the ZIP from the USPS-derived database; USPS acceptable alternate city names are listed in the note field. Preferred postal city often differs from the neighborhood name residents use (e.g. 11385 = 'Ridgewood, NY' for Glendale addresses; 11004 = 'Glen Oaks', 11005 = 'Floral Park'). Brooklyn ZIPs generally print 'Brooklyn, NY', New York County ZIPs generally print 'New York, NY' and Richmond County ZIPs generally print 'Staten Island, NY', but there are exceptions - notably 10463, whose USPS preferred city is 'Bronx, NY' although its Marble Hill portion is in Manhattan - so read postal_city per row rather than assuming a borough-wide rule.
• zip_type and status come from the uszipcodelist.com USPS-derived database, which does not publish a vintage/as-of date on the file. Type and decommissioned flags are therefore undated database values, unverified against any dated USPS release; only the ~20 edge-case ZIPs listed in the source notes were individually re-checked against unitedstateszipcodes.org this session.
• Geographic membership of each ZIP in a county is taken from the U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZCTA5-to-county relationship file. Census ZCTAs are census approximations of ZIP areas and are built from the 2020 Census; single-site Standard codes (e.g. 10281) and PO-Box-only/unique ZIPs have no ZCTA, so they were classified from the postal database alone and are flagged in notes. No claim is made about when any ZIP was established.
• Inclusion in 'rows' depends only on the source ZIP-type field (STANDARD) and county of record; residential population was never used as a filter or as a proxy for service eligibility. Non-residential geographic codes (e.g. 11430 JFK Airport, 11371 LaGuardia, 11359 Fort Totten, 11252 Fort Hamilton, 10311 Staten Island west-shore industrial area, 10281 Brookfield Place, 11370 Rikers Island) and single-building Manhattan codes are primary rows, distinguished by the 'classification' field rather than removed.
• Nassau border codes: 11001 (Floral Park village) and 11040 (New Hyde Park) have a USPS county of record of Nassau County, but the 2020 Census ZCTA-county file records 663,253 m2 of ZCTA 11001 and 429,369 m2 of ZCTA 11040 inside Queens County - so a blanket 'not New York City' statement is unsafe and coverage for these two ZIPs must be decided per street address. ZCTA 11096 (Inwood, Nassau) shows no Queens land in the same file, but it abuts the Far Rockaway city line, so borderline addresses should still be checked. NYC DOHMH's 2007 Community Health Atlas lists 11001 and 11040 in its UHF 409 (Southeast Queens) ZIP Code Area Index. Queens' own border ZIPs are 11004 (Glen Oaks), 11005 (Floral Park postal city, Queens County) and 11426 (Bellerose).
• Status values are transcriptions of database flags, not USPS confirmations: 'active per undated USPS-derived database flag' means the source file lists the code as in service with no vintage date published; 'discontinued per decommissioned flag' likewise comes only from that file. Only the ~20 edge-case ZIPs named in notes were re-checked on unitedstateszipcodes.org on 2026-09-11.
• No USPS-authenticated API response was obtained in this session; USPS-level facts rest on the USPS-derived database plus unitedstateszipcodes.org per-ZIP pages. zipdatamaps HTML tables returned HTTP 403 when fetched for machine-readable extraction, so only their rendered text was usable.
• This reference is a documentation aid for a service-area page; it is not an official USPS or City of New York publication and should be re-verified before being used for legal, tax, or districting purposes.
