<1>ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. 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 community (such as Ruckersville). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Ruckersville or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).

<7>The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Ruckersville. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements.
