- USPS and commercial source ZIP+4 level delivery statistics.
- Census Bureau estimates and projections of population characteristics at various levels of geographic detail, including the latest estimates of population at the city level.
- Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates and projections of employment by industry and occupation at the county level.
- Medicare eligible population counts at the ZIP code level, including population by sex and 5-year age cohorts, provided by the Health Care Financing Administration of Social Security. These counts provide a very accurate local count of the population aged 65 and higher.
- Internal Revenue Service statistics on tax filers and year-to-year migration.
