Jersey City ZIP code footprint
How Jersey City's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.
6 ZIP codes are listed for Jersey City, covering a population of 292,449. They span 9 numbers, 07302 through 07310. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Jersey City ranks 85 of 94 by count. Large metros carry more codes because USPS splits a delivery area once carrier volume outgrows one route cluster, not because the city is geographically bigger.
All 6 codes share the 073 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Jersey City passes through one facility. The range runs 07302 to 07310.
ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; New Jersey redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Jersey City mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Jersey City city limits, and a single code can straddle the boundary.

Why ZIP-based rate lookup is unreliable
USPS redraws ZIP codes when carrier routes change. Tax jurisdictions move with annexations, county lines and voter-approved districts. The two never line up. In New Jersey, even without local add-ons, remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the New Jersey Division of Taxation lookup at the time of sale.
