Below is the crosswalk that is currently being used for data from the 2018 UDS report, patients by ZIP Code table to convert those ZIP Codes to ZCTAs. The U.S. Census Bureau creates ZCTAs but does not release an official crosswalk between ZIP Codes and ZCTAs. ZCTAs may be comprised of one or more ZIP Codes. ZCTAs are not an exact geographic match to ZIP Codes and therefore we are providing this list to allow you to see where data from a certain ZIP Code will be displayed on the UDS Mapper. It is important to remember that the ZIP Code listed by a health center in their UDS report may be different from the ZCTA used on the UDS Mapper so please use this list to identify where your ZIP Code data are being displayed.

I've put up a download here that links all the MSAs, CBSAs, Combined Statistical Areas, and Metropolitan Divisions that we update monthly with the most accurate zip codes. Nov 27, 2017 - Here's how to add the state abbreviation, county name, and county FIPS to your example. R has built-in variables for state names and state.
