Here's a fun little site to play around with. Just type in a zipcode and it will give you all the info you'd want to know about it, plus some you may not.

Cute, but not entirely accurate.

For example, I live in Ham Lake, MN, zip code is 55304.  The post office for 55304 is in Andover, MN, so they give all the stats for Andover.  But the zip is BOTH Andover AND Ham Lake, so without adding Ham Lake's stats to Andover's, it does not represent zip code 55304.

There are thousands of communities in the US that share zip codes.  In some rural areas, as many as 5-6 towns or more may share a single zip code.

AB,  you are correct.  I contacted the source of this website and told them that we have a real problem,  Ham Lake, Mn is not properly accounted for.  They have decided that they need to shut down the whole website until this "Glitch" is fixed.  My take on it was that it was just a fun, and informative (to most) site to check out.  But it must be a more serious problem than I expected.   Oh, and relax on the Post Police stuff, just enjoy.

I have to wonder where they get their data...

http://www.zipskinny.com/index.php?zip=95655

We have a unique zip - it represents only the former Air Force base, where all the original housing was torn down and rebuilt from 2000-2004.  1100 houses total in our zip...

Yet, according to the link, 62% earn under $10k/year?   Median household income is $8k/year.   Nobody earns over $35k?  Funny, many $600k+ houses have sold on our street alone


[edit]

I now see the very tiny print, "Social and economic indicators based on 2000 Census sample data" -- this was after the military base closed, and before our neighborhood was built  That explains the only "116 people per square mile"...
