<div>I share Sarah's skepticism about importing ZCTAs. ZCTAs are
generalized polygons created by the US Census Bureau and
derived from *point* data furnished by the US Postal Service.
Given the variability of ZIP codes in general, and the fact
that OSM is two steps removed from the source data makes ZCTAs
problematic. </div>

am also opposed to that idea.<br>
