However, there are a number of medium-sized preferred names in Montgomery County. Along the DC border — and, unsurprisingly, in areas that were early streetcar suburbs — Takoma Park which includes a sizable incorporated city and Chevy Chase a name shared by a number of small municipalities on the Connecticut Avenue corridor are the preferred names for significant swaths of land.
Meanwhile, there are a couple of tiny municipalities in Montgomery County — Glen Echo, Cabin John, and Garrett Park — that have their own ZIP codes approximately coterminous with the municipalities with their own preferred names. The early streetcar suburbs of Mount Rainier and Brentwood and the colonial port town of Bladensburg which later also became a streetcar suburb have their own ZIP code preferred names, and the larger cities of College Park and Riverdale Park do as well.
What is rather strange is that there are actually two regions with the preferred name Hyattsville, separated by Riverdale, Bladensburg, and Brentwood ZIP codes. The western of these two regions that the Post Office considers Hyattsville contains the City of Hyattsville and unincorporated areas to its west and north.
The eastern one, though, contains none of Hyattsville, and is made up of two ZIP codes and that include the incorporated municipalities of Landover Hills and Cheverly and New Carrollton. Furthermore, while Landover Hills and Cheverly are relatively small, New Carrollton has two-thirds the population of Hyattsville.
The city was incorporated with the name Carrollton. However, the Post Office already recognized a locality in Carroll County as Carrollton, Maryland, and was unwilling to allow the same name to be used for two localities in the same state. Until the city changed its name to New Carrollton in , mail to New Carrollton had to be addressed to Hyattsville to avoid being sent to Carroll County.

If the address is on the same street as a ZIP code boundary on the map, be sure to search for the full street address to determine the ZIP code instead of relying on the map.
Their purpose is to convey statistical data about regions that are familiar to most citizens. As discussed above, it is difficult to precisely define a geographic area covered by a ZIP code. ZCTAs were developed to account for some of the difficulties in assigning an area to a ZIP code and to precisely define a geographic area. In general, they are updated once every 10 years for the Census. The Census assigns an area to a ZCTA according to census blocks the smallest geographic unit used by the census.
Imagine a city block that makes up a typical census block as pictured to the right. It is bounded on all 4 sides by portions of city streets that each have their own name and addresses.
The issue is that census blocks almost always split down the middle of the street. ZIP codes rarely do because that would require two postal workers delivering mail to that street - one for each side of the street. In the example, one mail carrier may deliver to 3 sides of the block via one ZIP code while another mail carrier delivers mail on the other street in a different ZIP code. When this happens, the Census Bureau will assign the entire block to a single ZCTA in this case, because the census block is the area that is precisely measured.
If you are getting very precise usually a matter of meters, not miles , census block boundaries near the edge of a ZIP code almost always split ZIP codes.
