Except when it isn’t. I’d be curious to know the population in areas where a zip code spans multiple counties.

In that case, each county that corresponds to that ZIP Code is shown and the user can disambiguate manually.
Yeah it makes it easier. And I’m appreciative of the idea of making address entry easier for users but if they have to disambiguate did you actually make it easier?

I think Zillow does it best. You just type your address in a box and it looks up the normalized full address.

That makes everyone happy.
