About Tampa Zip Codes
Our Mission
tampazipcodes.com exists to make comprehensive, trustworthy, free Tampa-area ZIP code information accessible to everyone who needs it. The people who use this site every day include families moving to the Tampa Bay region, real estate agents and brokers researching submarkets, small-business owners planning service areas, marketers running geo-targeted campaigns, journalists and academic researchers analyzing demographic patterns, and curious residents who simply want to understand the place they live.
Coverage
We cover every primary ZIP code in the City of Tampa and the surrounding Hillsborough County area. This includes the historic urban core (downtown, Ybor City, Hyde Park, Seminole Heights), the South Tampa peninsula down to MacDill Air Force Base (ZIP 33621), the University of Tampa campus (ZIP 33606), the University of South Florida area, the master-planned communities of North Tampa including Tampa Palms (ZIP 33647) and Carrollwood, and the western suburbs of Town 'N' Country and Westchase. We organize this coverage geographically by cardinal direction: North, South, East, and West Tampa.
Data Sources
All demographic and economic figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, the federal government's standard small-area statistical product. ZIP boundary and delivery information comes from the United States Postal Service (USPS). Climate and environmental data, where shown, comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We also reference public records from Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa for boundary and zoning context. Each detail page cites the specific Census table used (e.g., B03002 for race/ethnicity, B19013 for median household income) so you can trace any figure back to its source.
Our Approach
This site is, and will remain, completely free. No paywall, no required signup, no "premium" tier. We support the operation of the site through Google AdSense advertising, which lets us keep the content open to everyone — including students, researchers, and small-business owners who would not have a budget for paid data products.
Part of a Larger Network
tampazipcodes.com is part of a network of locally focused ZIP code information sites covering U.S. metropolitan areas. Each site in the network is operated as a stand-alone resource, but they share the same editorial standards and data-sourcing methodology.
Update Frequency
Census ACS estimates are released annually (5-year estimates each December). We refresh our published demographic figures within a few weeks of each release. ZIP boundary and USPS data is reviewed quarterly. If you spot something out of date or believe a figure is wrong, please tell us via our contact form.
