uszipcode
USA zipcode programmable database, includes 2020 census data and geometry information.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
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—the 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.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2022-01-06, over 1681 days ago.
- No recent maintenance or security updates; rely on it only if the data snapshot it contains meets your needs.

What it is and what it does
uszipcode is a Python library that bundles a snapshot of US zipcode data crawled from data.census.gov, exposing it through a queryable search interface. 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.
You 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.
Use it for
- Look up geographic coordinates and timezone for a US zipcode without calling an external API
- Retrieve Census 2010 demographic and income statistics for a zipcode to support business analytics or research
- Find housing and rental cost estimates by zipcode for real estate or relocation planning
- Query employment and educational attainment data for a region to support workforce analysis
- Perform fuzzy zipcode matching when user input is incomplete or misspelled
