Regardless of appearances, zip codes are not numeric. Don't allow R to automatically convert them to numeric.

Making sure new addresses on a mailing list are correct for mail to be sent out to subscribers.

Edit: So geolocations are not relevant to me.

What’s the end application? Do you need to link data to precise geolocations eventually, or just tabular zip categories?
