One way to do it that would be as follows:

  • get zip shapes
  • get centroids
  • map each centroid to nearest lat/lon of place we have in our current gazetteer
  • join to those places.

It might be more performant to include the zip list separately and join in the browser?

Some possible issues:

  • for large cities, like DC, there are lots of zip codes per entry in the gazetteer.
  • for large zip areas, a centroid may be far whatever population center is core to the zip.
