Find the Nearest ZIP Codes to Any Location
Enter a ZIP code and discover the closest ZIP codes ranked by distance. Up to 50 results with map view.
Start from a 5-digit US ZIP code, a place name, your current location, or a point you click on the map, and choose how many ZIP codes you want back, from 5 to 50. The tool lists them closest first, each with its city, state, and straight-line distance in miles, and a numbered pin on the map. There is no radius to set: the search reaches as far as it needs to fill the list, a few miles in a city and much farther in open country. A ZIP code you start from is left out of its own list. Copy the list or export it as a CSV.
Find the Nearest ZIP Codes to Any US Location
Some jobs start with one location and the question "which ZIP codes are next to this one?" This free tool answers it with a ranked list: the closest ZIP code first, then the next closest, down to the number you chose. It is a count, not an area: you decide how long the list is, not how far it reaches.
Each row gives the ZIP code, its city and state, and the distance from your starting point. Distances under 10 miles are shown to two decimal places and longer ones to one. The same ranking appears on the map as numbered pins around a green marker for the starting point.
How the Search Works
- Pick a starting point - type a ZIP code or place name, or use "Use My Location" or "Click on Map"
- Set the number of results - anywhere from 5 to 50; the slider starts at 20
- Search - the tool measures from your starting point to the ZIP codes around it and keeps the closest ones
- Check the map - click a row or a numbered pin to highlight that ZIP code
ZIP code locations come from the free SimpleMaps US ZIP Code Database (Basic version 1.93, January 2026): 33,782 ZIP codes across the 50 states, DC and five territories. Each ZIP code is a single latitude and longitude point from that file, not the boundary of a delivery area, so every distance here is point to point.
Taking the List With You
- Copy all ZIP codes - a plain-text list, one "ZIP - city, state" per line, in ranked order
- Export CSV - rank, ZIP code, city, state, latitude, longitude, and distance in miles
- Copy link - after a ZIP code search, the link reopens the same ZIP code and result count
- Change the count - move the slider and search again for a shorter or longer list
When a Nearest-ZIP List Helps
See which ZIP codes sit closest to a depot or drop-off point, in order.
Take the 10 or 20 ZIP codes nearest a store as a starting list for a territory or survey.
List the neighboring ZIP codes around a property to widen a search for comparable listings.
Begin a mailing with the ZIP codes closest to your address and add more as the budget allows.
Need every ZIP code inside a set number of miles, such as a delivery area or service zone? That is a different list: use ZIP Radius Search.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the nearest ZIP codes calculated?
Each ZIP code in our data is a single latitude and longitude point. The tool measures the straight-line distance in miles from your starting point to the ZIP code points around it, sorts them nearest first, and keeps the number you asked for. Driving distance is usually longer.
How many nearest ZIP codes can I find?
From 5 to 50 in one search; the slider starts at 20. The list stops short of that number where the next ZIP code is more than 500 miles farther away than the last one listed, and a note says how far away it is. On Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands that means the 9 other ZIP codes there, with a note that the next nearest is more than 3,000 miles away, in Alaska. For every ZIP code within a set radius instead of a fixed count, use our ZIP Radius Search tool.
Is my data stored?
MapTools does not keep a record of the ZIP codes or places you search. Your browser downloads our ZIP code files and works out the distances itself, and a place name is matched against place-name files downloaded from our own data server. If a ZIP code is not in our data, that ZIP code is sent to Zippopotam, an outside lookup service, to find its location. A link you copy after a ZIP code search contains the ZIP code and the number of results.
Why wasn't my ZIP code found?
Our data has 33,782 ZIP codes across the 50 states, DC and five territories. It has no military ZIP codes, and some PO-box-only or very new ZIP codes are missing. If you start from a ZIP code that is not in our data, the tool tries a live lookup with Zippopotam to place it. A ZIP code missing from our data will not appear in a results list.
