Frequently asked questions
What does zone 6B mean?

Why is the table sorted by population?
Population ordering surfaces larger communities first. The zone total counts all published ZIPs in band 6B; page through the table to browse beyond the first page.
Is a hardiness zone the same as a climate normal?
Hardiness zones summarize winter extreme cold. ZIP pages on US5 also show precipitation, snow, and FEMA risk context separately.
