Explanation and Limitations

Zip code level data should be interpreted with caution as they comprise a larger geographic area than neighborhood planning areas, census tracts and block groups. These units of analysis differ in important ways, including socioeconomic heterogeneity and estimate stability (due to differing population size).

Totals include a number of zip codes not listed that have small cell sizes. There is a very high probability that numbers/rates for these zip codes could be completely random fluctuations and not reliable.
