  • GNIS ID for Iron Station: 987400
  • GNIS ID for Lincoln County: 1008569
  • GNIS ID for State of North Carolina: 1027616

  • State Code: 37 (North Carolina)
  • County Code: 109 (Lincoln County)
  • Place Code: 33820 (Iron Station)
  • State & County Code: 37/109 (North Carolina / Lincoln County)

• Misc. Census Codes ...
  • Iron Station is located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #5 (the South Atlantic Division).

• The US Postal Service ZIP Code ...
  • While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Iron Station, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Iron Station. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
  • The ZIP code for Iron Station:28080<4>

• Census ZCTA Codes ...
  • The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
  • ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.
