Four more digits were added to the original five in 1983, but most of us, including me, don't remember it. Perhaps we should take a look at one of the thousands of return addresses we get from the charities to find out what it is.
If your whole, 9-digit ZIP Code is 12345-6789, here is a decode of what the numbers stand for:
The 123 stand for the General region/City.
The 45 stands for Delivery Area: Post Office or Neighborhood.
The 67 stands for Sector Or Several Blocks.
The 89 stands for Segment or One Side of the Street.
