Hello,

I'm not sure if this is really the right newsgroup, as my question is not
related specifically to ASP.NET. I'm looking for free data in CSV or some
other importable format that breaks states down by region. For example, in
California you might have the following:

Bakersfield & Vicinity
East Bay, Oakland & Berkeley
Napa & Napa County
San Jose, South Bay & Vicinity

I'd need to be able to return the regions within a state, and then generate
a list of zip codes within that region. Anyone know where I can find data
like this?

Thanks in advance.
 
Other than cities and counties, I know of no standardized "regions" for
states. If I were you, I'd be looking for cities or counties.

I googled a long time ago for a zipcode directory, but wasn't able to find
anything current.
 
I have a zip code directory already. I'm looking for a database of
well-known regions within states (i.e. Greater Los Angeles area, San
Francisco Bay Area, San Diego & Vicinity, etc).

I know California's so I could do those manually, but there are 49 other
states I know nothing about. :) I've seen this done on real estate sites
where you want to search for properties within a well-known region within a
state. I just need to know where that data comes from.
