Mississippi is home to 387 ZIP codes spanning 81 counties and 345 cities, covering everything from the flat farmlands of the Mississippi Delta to the sandy shores of the Gulf Coast. ZIP codes in the state range from 38601 in the north to 39776 in the south, with a dozen distinct prefixes reflecting the state's regional geography. Hinds County, anchored by the state capital Jackson, leads all counties with 23 ZIP codes — a testament to the city's size and complexity as Mississippi's urban center. Whether you're mailing a letter to a small Delta community or looking up a Gulf Coast address, Mississippi's well-organized postal system makes it easy to navigate one of the South's most storied states.
Mississippi ZIP codes span prefixes from 386 through 397, reflecting the state's geographic layout from north to south. The 386 and 387 prefixes generally cover the northern regions of the state, while prefixes in the 390s serve the central and Jackson metro area, and the higher prefixes in the 394–397 range extend into the southern portions of the state including the Gulf Coast. This progression of prefixes mirrors the way the U.S. Postal Service historically organized mail distribution across Mississippi's distinct regional corridors.
Hinds County leads all Mississippi counties with 23 ZIP codes, which reflects its role as home to the state capital Jackson — a sprawling metropolitan hub with numerous distinct neighborhoods, suburbs, and surrounding communities each requiring their own postal designations.
