Converting Zip codes to Time zone for US

Question

I have US ZIP codes, now I need to get their respective time zones. Could you please help me with any mapping file or Python or R code for this.

Answer 1

Use "Ziptz" library for this. Usage:

z = Ziptz.new
z.time_zone_name('zipcode')

Result:

Pacific

Get all the zip codes in a time zone

 z.zips('American Samoa') #=> ["96799", "96941", "96942", "96943", "96944"]

Supported Timezone

• "Atlantic" UTC -04:00
• "Eastern" UTC -05:00
• "Central" UTC -06:00
• "Mountain" UTC -07:00
• "Pacific" UTC -08:00
• "Alaska" UTC -09:00
• "Hawaii-Aleutian Islands" UTC -10:00

• "Marshall Islands" UTC +12:00
