The problem with IP geolocation is that at the city and ZIP code level, it's just imprecise enough to be kind of annoying for something like this. It's very possible 2 people in the same ZIP code may be geolocated to neighboring but different ZIP codes.
At US state (and often international province/region) level you generally get nearly 100% accuracy, but that's probably too broad for something like this. Unfortunately I'm not sure there's really anything in between that you could use.
