Overview
Understanding ZIP code 52030
ZIP code 52030 is assigned to Andrew, IA, and falls within Jackson County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 393 people live inside it.
At 1,585 residents per square mile spread over 0.248 square miles, 52030 reads as a suburban area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $64,292 puts 52030 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 40% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 52030 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 52030 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 52030 offers a compact profile of Andrew: 393 residents, a median household income of $64,292, 13.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 5.8%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 52030 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Andrew may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
