Question Determining a city's primary / main zip code?

Is there a way to determine a city's primary or main zip code?

For example, I know the most likely main zip code for Sacramento, CA is 95814.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Stephen

Re: Determining a city's primary / main zip code?

How would you define what the "primary / main zip code" is?

I think the answer to that question will probably lead you to a solution.
All but the smallest cities will have multiple zipcodes in their Central Business Districts.

For something rough and ready, why not just do a city lookup in a the US Census Bureau's list of cities?
