ZIP codes can be shared among multiple towns. Quite possibly multiple states, though I can't think of an example offhand.

- showerst 13y agoThat's correct; via wiki - For example ZIP code 42223 spans Christian KY and Montgomery TN, and ZIP code 97635 spans Lake OR and Modoc CA. Zip codes are also non-contiguous in some areas, and not bounded-polygons in others which makes them really bad for geo purposes.
