    Hi Everyone!

    Is it possible to combine two zip code data for foreign-born? I have the ACS :)

    Hello,

    Yes, you can combine ACS estimates on the foreign-born for two or more ZIP Code Tabulation Areas ( ZCTAs). Just note that ZCTA boundaries do not line up exactly with USPS ZIP codes, as described here:
