How up-to-date are the zip codes in MapPoint?

I have imported some zip codes for my companie's territories into MapPoint. About 5% did not match to MapPoint's zip codes. I have identified some that are errors in my data file but some appear to be errors within MapPoint (according to the data check's I've done with the USPS website). How current are the MapPoint zip codes?

One specific one I'm having trouble with is 20041. According to USPS, this is a DC zip code. However, in MapPoint, it's showing this zip code in VA.

Hi vtkendra,

You can expect MapPoint to be at least 2 years behind on postal codes.
