It includes 42,724 zipcodes (STANDARD, PO BOX, UNIQUE, and MILITARY types) with associated census demographics, geographic coordinates, housing statistics, employment data, and income information. The data is primarily static from Census 2010 for demographic fields, with some time-series data extending to 2020 for population trends.\n\nYou query the database by zipcode to retrieve address, postal, geography, demographic, housing, employment, and education fields. The package depends on SQLAlchemy for data storage and retrieval, plus utilities like fuzzywuzzy for fuzzy matching and haversine for distance calculations. It is designed as a self-contained, offline-queryable reference rather than a live API client.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your use case tolerates static Census 2010 data and you need offline zipcode lookups without external API calls. No, if you require current census data, frequent updates, or active maintenance\u2014the package has been abandoned since 2022-01-06 and will not receive security or data updates. Suitable for reference applications, historical analysis, or prototyping; not for production systems requiring fresh demographic data."},"id":"uszipcode","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uszipcode","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uszipcode.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/uszipcode/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"uszipcode","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"USA zipcode programmable database, includes 2020 census data and geometry information."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":996200,"position":4547,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
