File formats
Available in illustrator standard file format North Carolina zip code vector map is the latest U.S. It was created on the basis of the Census database.
Making the map was difficult because recently the Census Bureau only deals with the zip code area, not the names of the primary cities. This could be achieved with another excel file attachment. The finished maps are available in PDF and Illustrator AI formats.
Zip code types
We distinguish between 4 types of zip codes:
– Unique address: Big organizations like Hospitals, universities, Government agencies and businesses that receive a lot of mails use unique zip codes.
– PO Box only
– Military
– Standard (all other ZIP codes).
The map here contains only the standard type, the one that is not point-like, but has an extension, covering a larger area.
Layers:
– Urban area – name
– Targetted STATE ZIP CODE NUMBERS
– Other zip code numbers
– Highways – lines
– Urban area – shapes
– Targetted STATE ZIP CODE SHAPES
– other zip code – shapes
