Derived statistics

  • ACS-based state estimates are aggregated from ZCTA (ZIP) values; totals may differ from official state ACS tables.
  • Health metrics (when shown) are derived from county-level CDC PLACES.
  • Median age, household size, and mean commute time (when shown) are estimated as population-weighted averages of ZIP values.
  • Population density is computed as population ÷ land area.

Data accuracy & methodology

State pages use 2020–2024 ACS 5-year ZCTA (ZIP) estimates aggregated across ZIPs in the state, plus other public datasets when available (see Sources). Aggregated ZIP-based totals can differ from official state ACS tables. Treat small differences as statistical noise rather than precise changes.
