This guide provides a comprehensive list of Queens County ZIP codes, along with essential information for accurate mailing. Using the correct ZIP code and city name is crucial for efficient mail delivery.
Queens, a vibrant borough with diverse neighborhoods, presents unique challenges when it comes to ZIP codes. The official city name for mailing often differs from the colloquial neighborhood name. This guide clarifies these distinctions, providing a reliable resource for residents, businesses, and anyone sending mail to Queens.
Why Accurate ZIP Codes Matter
ZIP codes are essential for more than just mail delivery. They play a vital role in:
Emergency Services: First responders rely on accurate ZIP codes to quickly locate emergencies.
Business and Marketing: Companies use ZIP code data for targeted advertising and market analysis.
Resource Allocation: City planners use ZIP codes to distribute resources and services effectively.
Research and Demographics: Researchers utilize ZIP code data for demographic studies and statistical analysis.
The City Name Conundrum
The official city name used for mailing in Queens may not always align with the neighborhood name. For instance, while you might reside in Rego Park, the official mailing city could be Flushing. This discrepancy often stems from historical designations and postal service logistics. Always use the official USPS city name for accurate mail delivery.
