A Designated Market Area (DMA) is a Nielsen media-market geography used to group U.S. counties into TV / advertising markets. Each market has a three-digit DMA code — for example 517 for CHARLOTTE.

DMAs are not the same as metro statistical areas, area codes, or ZIP boundaries. A single DMA can span multiple states, and large metros may dominate a market while nearby counties still belong to the same advertising footprint.

US5 joins published ZIP profiles to DMA codes so you can browse the market as a list of postal codes with population, income, and housing at a glance — then drill into any ZIP for maps, schools, commute, and climate context.

This is a place-based research view for media markets, not a live TV schedule, ratings feed, or advertising buy tool. Counts can change when geography publishes update.
