To follow this thought, most people know just handful of zip codes (if even their own), so if you drop "94303" in front of me, dollar signs are not going to appear in my eyes because it's Palo Alto, CA (multi-million dollar tiny homes for those not in the Bay Area). Yes, nowadays people can type that into their phones and find the corresponding neighborhood, but really? Most criminals steal what they can see, not what they think might be there from a zipcode. They're better off just driving to a nice neighborhood and casing the houses whose owners are away. Of course maybe there are people following you around slowly acquiring your PII so they can steal your identity and drain your 401k.
