How can i find distance betwen two zip code?

Answer 1

do a mapquest, so you get an idea

Answer 2

Last number of the zip code divided by the first number, minus the other zip code divided by 3.

The number left multiplied by 4 is the number of miles.

Answer 4

Both the resource from above (melissadata.com) and this one: http://www.allplaces.us/dbz.htm calculate a straight line distance between the centroids (geometric center of a polygon) of the zipcodes you enter.

If you enter zipcodes as start/end addresses in google maps or any other web based driving directions app you will get a road travel distance from the road closest to the centroid of the start zipcode to the road closest to the centroid of the end zipcode.

For example distance from 90001 to 10001 is 2453mi

Driving distance is: 2785mi

Answer 5

Your best bet is to have an address of some sort in each zip code, then use an online tool like mapquest or googlemaps to figure it out. There is not a set spacing or logic to the numbering of zip codes. I take that back....at least in my county, the logic is: the numbers being services out of the main town of the county were assigned (after the county seat) in number and alphabetic order.

That is, Blairsville is 15717, Home  is 15747.
