Calvin, getting back to your original comment, what exactly do you mean "use ZIP codes"?  They are currently tagged with the key addr:postcode.  Are you proposing an import or some other way to use the Census ZCTA data?  Brad

census is bad for places that DON'T have people but especialy when you build your data set off the block layer the shapes will include all the addresses they need to but will miss some strange ones (like theme parks)

the census they tend to get the areas right in the sense of getting all
the houses.
In Florida, they omit 32830, which has been Walt Disney World's zip code
since it opened in 1971.
