Jamestown ZIP Code Directory Coverage

The documented postal picture has three numbers that need different treatment. USPS confirms 14701 at the Jamestown Post Office, making it the supported primary street-delivery ZIP associated with many city addresses. Postal routing material also places 14702 and 14733 under a Jamestown routing label, but the reviewed records do not supply a complete delivery polygon for either number. Treat the results as postal evidence. To decide whether an address is inside Jamestown city, compare county GIS municipal boundaries, the parcel SWIS code, and the assessment roll rather than relying on the postal city line alone.

The table is deliberately cautious. The research did not find an official list of every delivery area for 14701 and 14702, nor a complete city-versus-postal mismatch table. A careful search records both the postal result and the separate municipal check.

Jamestown ZIP Code 14701 at USPS

The official USPS location page for Jamestown identifies the post office at 300 E 3rd Street, Jamestown, NY 14701-9998. It lists weekday hours of 9 to 5, Saturday hours of 9 to 12, Sunday closure, a phone number of 716-664-2133, and 24-hour PO box access. The location page is useful for verifying the office and the 14701 association. It does not provide a legal municipal boundary or a promise that every 14701 address sits within Jamestown city.

The USPS Jamestown location record supplies the verified post-office association used for this postal reference.

Use the USPS result to confirm an address or delivery detail, then save the date checked. Postal service features change, and the page itself notes that not all financial or mailing services are available at that office.

Jamestown ZIP 14702 Needs Confirmation

14702 appears beside Jamestown in the reviewed USPS routing material. It is commonly treated as a box-service counterpart, but that exact PO-box-only classification was not exposed by the official USPS page reviewed for this project. The useful conclusion is narrower: 14702 is a Jamestown postal designation that needs a direct postal check before anyone assigns it a delivery type, a neighborhood, or a city jurisdiction.

That distinction prevents a common error. A postal route can serve a mailing need without defining a municipal boundary. Keep the reported ZIP, postal city string, parcel municipality, ward or election district, and SWIS separately. If one field disagrees with another, note the source and date instead of selecting the result that seems most familiar.

Note: A missing official delivery-type field is a research gap, not evidence that 14702 has one specific postal use in every situation.

Jamestown Postal Label 14733

The reviewed USPS DMM label file shows 14701–14702 and 14733 under a JAMESTOWN NY 14701 routing row. A routing or container label helps mail move through the network. It is not a city-limit table. For that reason, 14733 should never be assigned to Jamestown city without a parcel or municipality check.

County Board of Elections poll-site material reinforces the point: nearby Busti, Clymer, Ellicott, and Kiantone addresses can use a 14701-style Jamestown postal presentation. The postal-city phrase alone cannot identify the city government, ward, court, or assessment jurisdiction associated with an address.

Find Jamestown Residents by ZIP Code

A postal field is most useful after a name or address is already known. New York’s voter lookup asks for a registered voter’s last name, first name, date of birth, county, ZIP, and address information. The Department of State licensee search can narrow by county, city, and ZIP. Neither is a master resident list. The County Parcel History Database and GIS viewer are important for municipal checking, yet their reviewed instructions do not show a dedicated ZIP filter. Their supported search paths are address, tax identifier, owner name, and map layers.

1. Verify the postal ZIP with USPS and record the date of the result.
2. Use an official tool that actually accepts the field, such as the individual voter lookup or state licensee search, with the other required identifiers.
3. For a specific address, open county GIS or the Parcel History Database and check the municipal boundary, tax map, and parcel identifiers.
4. Compare the postal city, municipality, ward or election district, and SWIS instead of replacing one with another.
5. Document an unsuccessful search as a result in that source, not proof that a person or address does not exist.

Once a ZIP narrows the search to a named road or address, the Jamestown by-street directory is the appropriate place for the detailed address-record path.

Jamestown ZIP Search Fields

The state tools reveal why a ZIP search needs more than one input. The voter lookup is built for an individual registered New York voter and requires JavaScript and cookies. The licensee search supports name-based searching with county, city, and a postal field. Record only the information the official result actually provides. A license record, for example, is not a finding that a person currently lives at a street address.

Searchers can use the New York voter lookup for its individual-input path and the Department of State licensee search for the documented county, city, and postal filters. Save the source date and query fields with any result.

ZIP Code Boundaries and Jamestown Limits

ZIP Codes are USPS address and route constructs, not legal polygons. The Census describes ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, or ZCTAs, as generalized areas built from 2020 Census blocks. A ZCTA can be noncontiguous, contain enclaves, represent a box-only or unique ZIP, and differ from current postal delivery boundaries. It is appropriate for statistical work, but it cannot decide whether an address is inside Jamestown city limits.

Use USPS for current postal verification, the Census ZCTA guidance for aggregate statistics, and county parcel or municipal-boundary layers for city membership. Chautauqua County GIS provides municipal boundaries, address points, tax-map layers, and parcel links. The assessment roll and parcel SWIS provide additional municipal clues. The best answer comes from keeping these systems separate rather than forcing them into one map.

ZIP

A postal routing and address construct used by USPS. It is not a legal city polygon.

ZIP+4

An added delivery detail used with a base postal code. It does not replace municipal verification.

PO-box ZIP

A postal designation tied to box service. The reviewed sources did not establish that status for all 14702 use.

Unique ZIP

A code associated with a particular institution or delivery arrangement, which may not match a broad neighborhood area.

Carrier route

A mail-delivery grouping used operationally by USPS, not a boundary for city government.

Jamestown Address Fields to Keep Separate

Records can describe one property in several ways. A county assessment roll can carry a situs address, a current owner name, an owner mailing address, a tax-map identifier, values, and a deed reference. The research notes an example with a Jamestown situs and a Phoenix mailing address. That is a clear warning against treating an owner or mailing field as proof of current occupancy. A parcel number such as 370.10-1-2 is an assessor identifier, not automatically a deed’s legal lot description.

For a reliable note set, preserve the postal ZIP, postal city string, situs address, municipality, ward or election district, SWIS, tax map, and source date. A legal description, survey or plat, and County Clerk land record are the sources to consult when lot or boundary interpretation is needed. The postal number remains useful, but only as one field among several.

The County Parcel History Database has tax-map, old-number, new-number, deed-information, owner-name, address, and sales search modes. Its property records can link separately to tax information, ownership history, and property detail. The County GIS viewer adds parcel boundaries, address points, municipal layers, tax maps, aerial imagery, and an attribute table for the current map view. Neither reviewed set of instructions identifies a dedicated postal filter, so an address or tax map is usually the bridge from a ZIP result to a specific parcel.

Jamestown ZIP Geography at City Scale

Jamestown’s 2020 Census population was 28,712, and the city had 8.90 square miles of land with a density of 3,226.1 people per square mile. Those figures are aggregates, not address or household evidence. They do help explain why an apparently local postal label may overlap city and nearby-town geography without identifying a particular person or property.

The six city wards, College I, Lakeview II, Chadakoin III, Bergman Park IV, Forest V, and Willard Heights VI, are a civic geography separate from postal routing. When a ZIP result and a ward expectation conflict, use the current ward map and parcel sources for the relevant question. Do not convert a census area, ward, or delivery route into a claim about a resident.

Note: Postal, census, ward, and parcel boundaries have different purposes, so label the source and vintage before comparing their results.
