I have a list of addresses (city, state, zip) and I'd like to group them into regions throughout the united states.
It seems that metro/micropolitan statistical areas is a good way of doing that, but I'm having a hard time finding a list of all the zip codes and which area they fall into or city/state per statistical area.
Any leads? Thanks!
Found it!
