Postal codes are numbered with the first digit representing a particular group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city), and the fourth and fifth digits representing more specific areas, such as a small town or region of the city. Major towns in a region (if possible) often get the first zip code for that region; After that, numeric commands often follow alphabetical order. Like area codes, zip codes are divided and sometimes changed, especially when rural areas become suburban.
