ZIP lists
Curated specialty hubs that slice published ZIP metrics by climate zone, tax-incentive geography, and similar public labels — separate from core Places pages and state rankings.
Use these lists when you care about a shared designation across many ZIPs: which codes share a plant hardiness zone, or which fall inside Qualified Opportunity Zones. Open a list, pick a zone or state, then jump into full ZIP profiles for demographics and housing.
Looking for “richest” or “most walkable” instead? Those live under ZIP rankings by state.

Group U.S. ZIP codes by USDA / PRISM plant hardiness zone — useful for gardening, landscaping, and climate context alongside income and housing.

Open list →How ZIP lists are built
Each hub starts from a public source (USDA / PRISM hardiness zones, CDFI Qualified Opportunity Zone tracts, and similar). We map those labels onto ZIP codes, keep only indexable published ZIPs, and attach the same population, income, and housing fields you see on ZIP pages.
Lists are not predictions or investment advice. Opportunity Zone status and hardiness zones can change when source agencies revise maps; US5 refreshes when those datasets are re-imported and republished.
Frequently asked questions
- How are ZIP lists different from rankings?
- Rankings sort ZIPs inside a state by one metric (income, poverty, walkability, and so on). Lists group ZIPs by an external label or program — for example a USDA hardiness zone or an IRS Opportunity Zone designation.
- Where does the underlying data come from?
- Each list joins a public dataset onto US5 ZIP profiles. Demographics, income, and housing on the detail tables come from the same published ZIP metrics used elsewhere on the site. See Methodology for source notes.
- Will more lists appear here?
- Yes. This hub is for specialty ZIP slices that are not core geography pages like state, city, or county. New lists will be added as datasets become publishable.
