No. ZIP codes are designed to help the US Postal Service deliver mail in a timely manner. So, the boundaries for ZIP codes do not necessarily have to follow the boundaries for a neighborhood, city, county, school district, etc. In order for the U.S. Census Bureau to analyze data, the boundaries for ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) are used to approximate the service area for a ZIP code.

However, note that the lines drawn for cities, counties, school districts, etc. may not be the same as those of the corresponding ZIP code(s). For statistical purposes, the U.S. Census Bureau uses ZIP Code Tabulation Areas or ZCTAs. These are designed to approximate the areas for which a ZIP code is delivering mail, but may not be exact for any given ZIP code.
