We do not publish a delivery type (standard, PO box, unique) or a neighbourhood for each ZIP. USPS delivery-type products are licensed, and no clean-rights source maps ZIP codes to neighbourhoods — so the Amherst codes above are listed without a column we would have to invent.

Scope every ZIP code recorded for Amherst. Source GeoNames US postal codes (2026-07 postal dump) and Census 2024 county Gazetteer (2024 Gazetteer). Updated . ZIP codes are delivery-route groupings, not areas; the boundaries implied by any ZIP map are approximations.
