Arizona is home to 292 ZIP codes that span 15 counties and around 140 cities across the Grand Canyon State. Ranging from 85003 in downtown Phoenix to 86547 in the Navajo Nation capital of Window Rock, these ZIP codes cover some of the most diverse terrain in the country — from the Sonoran Desert lowlands to the pine forests of the Colorado Plateau. Maricopa County alone accounts for 127 of those ZIP codes, reflecting the massive population concentration in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Whether you're looking up a ZIP code for a bustling urban neighborhood or a remote tribal community, Arizona's postal geography tells the story of a state shaped by rapid growth and wide-open spaces.
Arizona ZIP codes begin with the digits 85 and 86, placing the state within the USPS sectional center facility regions of the Southwest. Prefixes such as 850, 851, and 852 generally serve the Phoenix metropolitan area and central Arizona, while higher prefixes like 856, 860, and 863–865 cover northern, western, and eastern regions of the state including Flagstaff, Tucson's outlying areas, and the Navajo Nation. This geographic distribution reflects population density, with the majority of prefixes concentrated around the heavily populated Maricopa County corridor.
Maricopa County leads Arizona with 127 ZIP codes — nearly 43% of the state's total — which is unsurprising given that it is home to Phoenix, the state capital, and is the fourth most populous county in the entire United States.
Quick facts
Arizona's lowest ZIP code, 85003, belongs to downtown Phoenix and covers the original heart of the city, including the Arizona State Capitol complex.
The highest Arizona ZIP code, 86547, is assigned to the remote community of Window Rock, which serves as the capital of the Navajo Nation — the largest Native American reservation in the United States.
Despite being the sixth-largest state by land area, Arizona has only 292 ZIP codes, reflecting the vast stretches of sparsely populated desert and tribal lands that require relatively few postal designations.
