Circle is measured from where you first press; Lasso follows your outline. The switch under Add and Remove decides which ZIPs count: Touching (any ZIP the shape touches), Center in (the ZIP's center point is inside) or Fully in (the whole ZIP is inside). For an exact distance, type a ZIP above and press Radius.
To leave out PO Box or single-organization ZIPs (a company, university or government office), or to keep only those, uncheck the others under ZIP types in the list panel.
The dotted grip on each box moves it: click or tap the grip to fold the box away, drag it to put the box somewhere else.
About ZipZoomer: what it does, the data it uses, and answers to common questions.
ZipZoomer finds every ZIP code within 75 miles of any U.S. ZIP code, shows them on a map with their real outlines, and gives you the list to copy or download as a CSV file. A 75-mile circle covers about 17,671 square miles, a bit less than Vermont and New Hampshire together, and is roughly 75 to 90 minutes by car. At this size a circle around one city often reaches the next metro area, and three out of four ZIP codes (73.9%) have a 75-mile circle that takes in more than one state.
The map above opens on a 75-mile radius around 67901 in Liberal, KS, which takes 57 ZIP codes with about 174,000 people in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Large circles reach places that are close on the map but far by road: across a mountain range, a large lake or a border with few crossings. Once the circle is drawn, look along its edge and remove the ZIP codes that are out of reach with a Remove lasso; Undo puts them back if you change your mind.
