New York State is served by 1,740 ZIP codes that stretch across 62 counties and approximately 1,294 cities, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to the rural farmlands of the Finger Lakes and the Adirondack wilderness. ZIP codes range from 00501—the lowest in the entire United States—to 14905 near the Pennsylvania border, using prefixes 005 and 100 through 149. New York County (Manhattan) alone accounts for 128 ZIP codes, more than any other county in the state, reflecting the extraordinary density of residents, businesses, and institutions packed into the borough. Whether you're looking up a ZIP code for shipping, demographic research, or mailing purposes, New York's extensive postal network is one of the most complex and fascinating in the country.
New York ZIP codes primarily span prefixes from 100 through 149, covering the state from the southernmost tip of Manhattan northward through the Hudson Valley, Capital District, Central New York, and westward to Buffalo and the Finger Lakes region. The 100–104 prefixes serve New York City's five boroughs, while 105–109 cover the suburban counties north of the city. Higher prefixes such as 130–149 serve Upstate New York, including Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo. The unique prefix 005 is reserved for a special-purpose ZIP code (00501) assigned to the IRS in Holtsville on Long Island.
New York County (Manhattan) leads the state with 128 ZIP codes, which reflects the extraordinary population density, the massive volume of commercial mail, and the sheer number of distinct neighborhoods and high-rise buildings packed into just 23 square miles.
Quick facts
ZIP code 00501 in Holtsville, NY is the lowest ZIP code in the United States and is exclusively assigned to an IRS mail processing facility on Long Island.
New York City alone accounts for hundreds of the state's 1,740 ZIP codes, and some Manhattan ZIP codes—like 10021 and 10065 on the Upper East Side—are among the wealthiest in the entire country by median household income.
When the ZIP code system was introduced in 1963, New York was one of the first states to adopt it widely because its massive postal volume demanded efficient sorting; the famous Mr. ZIP mascot was heavily promoted across the city's post offices.
