USA zipcode programmable database, includes up-to-date census and geometry information.

Project description

uszipcode is the most powerful and easy to use zipcode information searchengine in Python. Besides geometry data (also boundary info), several useful census data points are also served: population, population density, total wage, average annual wage, house of units, land area, water area. The geometry and geocoding data I am using is from google map API on Oct 2015. To know more about the data, click here. Another pupolar zipcode Python extension has lat, lng accuracy issue, which doesn’t give me reliable results of searching by coordinate and radius.

Highlight:

  1. Rich methods are provided for getting zipcode anyway you want.

  2. Fuzzy city name and state name allows you to search WITHOUT using exactly accurate input. This is very helpful if you need to build a web app with it.

  3. You can easily sort your results by population, area, wealthy and etc…
