Question - Zip Code 2020 Census Update

[ghost]

Will you be updating this when the 2020 census comes out?

If I can find a good source for the data, yes! I used GeoNames as my source so I am hopeful they will update their data. I'll work on getting my data generation code up here so we can be sure!

Any update on this? Zips getting a little stale.

I agree, @teebu. I've been wondering if this little library should be modernized or archived. Some of its approaches are a bit naive compared to what I've learned since the last update.

In the meantime, it does look like GeoNames has updated their data, so I can at least start with a data refresh!

I hope this helps! https://github.com/crhallberg/zips/commits/master

That links goes to 404.

Thanks for the update, can you push to npmjs?

Had to call it 1.1.3 bc npm enforces semantic versioning, but 1.1.2.2033-02-03 is up on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/zips/v/1.1.3.
