Note that: ZCTAs are approximations of mailing ZIP Codes and should not be confused with them. Refer to the following web page for more information on ZCTAs. http://www.census.gov/geo/ZCTA/zcta.html Boundary files for various census geographic areas are available from the Census Bureau's web site. The boundary file site currently is being updated with new boundary files for 2000 and many types are not yet available. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/ ---------------------- Forwarded by David H Wiggins/CL/BOC on 05/03/2001 02:15 PM --------------------------- "Nichols, Michael D." <nichols_md@vdot.state.va.us>@chrispy.net on 05/03/2001 10:41:48 AM Sent by: owner-ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net To: &quot;&#39;ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net&#39;&quot; &lt;ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net&gt; cc: "Tambellini, Rick L." &lt;tambellini_r(a)vdot.state.va.us&gt;us>, "Tucker, Chad J." &lt;tucker_cj(a)vdot.state.va.us&gt; Subject: [CTPP] RE: Zip Code Coverage For anyone that wants 2001 ARC/INFO or Arcview zipcode coverage's follow the link below. Thanks to david.h.wiggins(a)census.gov for providing this link. I am not sure why a search of the Census (or worldwide web) website did not turn up this link?
