Reading a Minnesota ZIP code
Minnesota holds 992 ZIP codes between 55001 and 56763, spread over 87 counties. Minneapolis leads the state with 69 codes, ahead of Saint Paul with 43. Every code here opens with the digit 5: that opening number is the national postal region Minnesota belongs to, the next two digits name the sectional center that sorts the mail, and the final two point to the local office. A ZIP+4 suffix narrows delivery to a block face. Boundaries follow carrier routes rather than city limits, which is why Minneapolis spreads across 69 codes while some rural codes cross county lines.
