ZIPCodeData

For general access to the Wolfram Knowledgebase, use entities of type ZIPCode instead of ZIPCodeData.

ZIPCodeData[entity,property]

gives the value of the specified property for the ZIP code entity.

ZIPCodeData[{entity1,entity2,…},property]

gives a list of property values for the specified ZIP code entities.

ZIPCodeData[entity,property,annotation]

gives the specified annotation associated with the given property.
