ZIP Codes Versus Town Limits Near Edinburg, TX
Census ZIP Code Business Patterns counts employers by mailing ZIP, and a ZIP is not a town. In the Rio Grande Valley the gap is wide: ZIP 78516 carries an Alamo, TX mailing name, yet Alamo covers only 19.9% of that ZIP's land (2020 ZCTA-place relationship file). Every town figure on this site is therefore labeled with its ZIP, and a ZIP count is never presented as a town-limits count.
