ZIP Code Radius Map
How to Find ZIP Codes Within a Radius
MapBusinessOnline makes it easy to create a ZIP Code radius map and export the ZIP codes within the radius:
- Choose a center point by clicking the map or entering an address, city, or ZIP Code.
- Set a radius distance in miles.
- Select the ZIP Code layer to search.
- MapBusinessOnline will automatically create and display a territory made up of the ZIP Codes within the radius.
- Export the territory's ZIP Code list as a CSV file.
Examples You Can Try
10 miles around a downtown (e.g., Times Square, Chicago Loop, Dallas City Hall).
25 miles around a warehouse or store (delivery/service area).
50 miles around a clinic or campus (catchment area).
Go Beyond a ZIP Code List
With MapBusinessOnline, you can create your own ZIP code radius maps to:
- Analyze demographics inside your radius — color ZIPs by population, household income, or other Census data. Summarize demographic variables and export ZIP code lists along with demographic data.
- Overlay your customer or prospect data on top of radius-selected ZIP codes to see where your market resides.
- Build territories from radii — turn groups of ZIP Codes within a radius into sales, service, delivery, or franchise territories.
- Expand beyond circles — search by drive-time areas, not just radius rings.
- Find businesses within a radius — search for businesses by industry and other attributes inside your radius.
- Plan optimized routes to reduce drive time for sales reps or technicians.
- Share interactive radius maps with colleagues or clients.
Tips for Accuracy
ZIPs follow USPS delivery areas, not city or county borders, so boundaries may overlap.
Radius ≠ drive-time: A circle is straight-line distance; for traffic-aware service areas, use drive-time polygons in the full MapBusinessOnline application.
Point vs boundary ZIP Codes: Some ZIPs represent only a single building or facility (point ZIPs), while others define a geographic area (boundary ZIPs). Learn more →

"MapBusinessOnline is an amazing tool that I use every week. When you are creating zip code footprints and trying to determine what zip codes fall within a range of a business, this tool couldn't be any easier to use. There's actually so many functions that are great but specifically I use MapBusinessOnline to create either a mile radius or a drive time radius from a business location. I then use that radius to determine which zip codes fall within the radius. Why is this important? Because I then export the zip codes and use another software that gets me exact counts of how many people fall within that radius in those zip codes. It's Amazing!
I highly recommend this software!"
