Thanks for the help. I agree and realize that zip code boundaries are not
the way to go. I did not realize that there were no actual boundaries for
zips. My problem is trying to convince no GIS people (physicians and
hospital administrators) that census geography is a more accurate way to
portray data. Since the non-GIS people can visualize and recognize a zip
code 28202 (because they use it everyday) rather than census tract 201.04,
my job to educate them has not gone well.

I am trying to align Zip Code Boundaries in North Carolina to actual
streets, rivers, etc. Do zip codes follow the same rationale as census
tracts? I know that the boundaries change frequently, but I cannot find a
free source that shows the accurate physical locations. HELP!
