Reading a New York ZIP code
New York holds 2,154 ZIP codes between 00501 and 14905, spread over 62 counties. New York leads the state with 146 codes, ahead of Albany with 50. Every code here opens with digits 0 to 1: that opening number is the national postal region New York 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 New York spreads across 146 codes while some rural codes cross county lines.
