How To Select A
ZIP CODE Ministry Area Boundary |
| CENSUS TRACT ALTERNATIVE: You may also choose
to define the study area by grouping Census Tracts. Make sure you have access to current
census tract data. |
| ZIP CODES are another simple way to define your study
area. Most of us are already familiar with our local ZIP Code areas, and if we aren't
quite sure, we can usually find a ZIP Code map in our local telephone directory. A ZIP
Code boundary may consist of one ZIP Code (as in the shaded area in the
illustration above) or a group of ZIP Codes (such as the surrounding ZIP Codes in
the same illustration). |
| You may want to consider an optional boundary, such as
RADIUS, or a hand drawn boundary, called a POLYGON. |
