Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (2020, Texas)
Texas's five-digit ZIP Code areas as the Census Bureau draws them for the 2020 census, called ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs). They are the closest public outline of a ZIP Code: use them to place an address, a street or a facility given by ZIP Code on the map, or to summarize anything else by ZIP Code. They approximate the Postal Service's delivery areas rather than reproduce them, and ZIP Codes that serve only post office boxes or a single building have none.
