The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a city (such as Winter Haven). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Winter Haven or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Winter Haven includes: 33880, 33881, 33882, 33883, 33884 & 33885.
<2>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Winter Haven - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>	Every year, the US Census Bureau creates a population estimate for the preceeding year. Keep in mind that this value is an estimate and not an actual count. The most recent Census estimate is for the year 2019.
<4>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Winter Haven. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.
