Ocean Township School District

A few homes at the edge of someone else's ZIP Code

At 1,128 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Ocean Township covers 11 square miles in all — small enough that a single ZIP Code area can hold most of it, and several ZIP Codes can cut across it.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 07755 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 07740 it holds 0.8% of the homes. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Ocean Township is the largest district in 2 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 10,257 of the 21,779 homes those areas hold — though in 1 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Ocean Township is the largest name in ZIP Code 07712 · Tinton Falls, New Jersey and still holds a minority of it: 8,945 of 19,202 homes. The other 10,257 homes are 10,253 with Asbury Park City, Tinton Falls Borough and Interlaken Borough; 4 in districts too small to name here. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

In ZIP Code 07755 · Oakhurst, New Jersey the single-name answer is the true one: Ocean Township holds all 2,577 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

Ocean Township reaches into ZIP Code 07711 · Allenhurst, New Jersey with 357 of its 880 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Allenhurst Borough leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 357 homes.

Ocean Township reaches into ZIP Code 07723 · Deal, New Jersey with 254 of its 1,179 homes, behind Deal Borough. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 254 homes.

Ocean Township is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 07740 · Long Branch, New Jersey — Long Branch City leads it — and Ocean Township holds 124 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Ocean Township runs kindergarten through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school. The districts listed below are the ones that take the other homes in the ZIP Code areas it shares — Long Branch City, Asbury Park City and Monmouth Regional. They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address. A district settles that question on its own site: look for a school locator, a find my school tool, or an attendance zone map. Where there is none, ask the office itself.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 4 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Ocean Township reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.

This site links to no district website. None of the federal files it is built from publishes one, and a guessed address is worse than none. It is the district office, not a search engine, that settles an address.

If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.

What this cannot tell you

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file. Nothing on this page adjusts one to the other. Where houses have been built or cleared since the count, a share here describes the place as it was counted rather than as it stands today, and in the fastest-growing ZIP Code areas that gap is the largest single source of error on this site.

A share on this page is a share of the homes in the ZIP Code area, not a probability for any particular address. Enrollment is decided by street address, and a district may run magnet, charter or choice programs that ignore the boundary entirely. If a decision depends on the answer, the district office is the only authority; this page shows what the federal boundary files say and when they were published.

A district boundary is not a school attendance zone. This site never says which school an address is assigned to: no current national dataset of attendance zones exists, and the district draws them itself. Nor is anything here endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau; we use their published files, and that is the whole of the relationship.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not an area. What is mapped here is the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area, the closest published approximation to it. The two are not identical, and a handful of ZIP Codes used only for post office boxes or single buildings have no tabulation area at all.

Where these numbers come from

School district boundaries come from the Census Bureau's Census Geographic Relationship File, current 2026 vintage, which assigns every census block to a unified district or to an elementary and a secondary district. Homes and residents in each block come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (PL 94-171), H1_001 and P1_001. The ZIP Code areas come from the same Geographic Relationship File, block to ZIP Code Tabulation Area. District names and grade ranges come from the Census Gazetteer 2025, with 2020 for districts no longer listed.

The place name printed beside a ZIP Code comes from the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area relationship files: place, county subdivision and county, taken 2026-09-06. It is a label rather than a measurement: the Census Bureau does not publish which post office a ZIP Code belongs to, so the place named is the one covering the most land inside the area, not the city the Postal Service prints on an envelope.

Everything else on this page — the shares, the counts of districts per ZIP, the comparison between the two grade bands, the rankings — is computed here from those files. The source publishes none of it. Snapshot taken 2026-09-03.
