What a ZIP code does not tell you
Three things get attributed to ZIP codes in Charlotte that they do not actually control. School assignment is set by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools attendance boundaries, which cut across postal codes. Property tax is set by Mecklenburg County and City of Charlotte rates applied to the county's assessed value, not by the code. And neighborhood identity — Eastover versus Myers Park, for instance — is defined by the original recorded subdivision plats, which predate the postal system's current boundaries by decades.
Where the code is genuinely useful: comparing market statistics, insurance and utility service areas, and orienting yourself when you do not yet know the city.
