About Colorado ZIP codes
Colorado is home to 476 ZIP codes spanning a numeric range from 80002 to 81657, covering 63 counties and 299 cities across one of the most geographically diverse states in the country. From the dense urban grid of the Denver metro area to remote mountain towns perched above 10,000 feet, Colorado's postal system is designed to reach communities in vastly different landscapes and climates. El Paso County, anchored by Colorado Springs, leads the state with 51 ZIP codes, followed closely by Denver and the expansive agricultural county of Weld. Whether you're looking up a Front Range suburb or a high-altitude ski town, Colorado's 17 distinct ZIP prefixes help organize mail delivery across this vast and varied state.
Colorado ZIP codes span prefixes from 800 through 816, reflecting the state's geography from its eastern plains to its mountainous western regions. The lower 800-prefix codes generally cluster around the Denver metro area and the Front Range corridor, while higher prefixes like 814, 815, and 816 extend westward into the Rocky Mountains and Colorado's Western Slope. This west-to-east numerical progression loosely mirrors how postal routes were historically organized as population and infrastructure spread across the state.
El Paso County holds the most ZIP codes in Colorado with 51, which reflects its status as the state's most populous county and home to Colorado Springs, a sprawling city that requires numerous postal zones to serve its diverse residential, military, and commercial areas.
Quick facts
- Colorado's ZIP code range of 80002 to 81657 spans 1,655 numerical values across just 476 active codes, meaning there are many gaps in the sequence reserved for future use or retired from service.
- The Denver metro area is served by ZIP prefix 802, but the city of Denver alone uses prefix 802 across 48 ZIP codes, making it one of the most densely ZIP-coded urban areas relative to its land size in the Mountain West.
- Some of Colorado's highest-elevation communities, such as those in Summit and Eagle counties near the Continental Divide, carry ZIP codes in the 804 and 816 ranges, making them among the highest-altitude postal delivery routes in the entire United States.
