Binghamton City School District

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

At 2,159 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Binghamton City covers 12 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 areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Binghamton City is the largest district in 4 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 11,692 of the 37,180 homes those areas hold. That count is computed here from census blocks; the lookups that answer this question with a single name never print it.

Binghamton City is the largest name in ZIP Code 13901 · Chenango Bridge, New York and still holds a minority of it: 4,714 of 10,311 homes. The other 5,597 homes are 5,550 with Chenango Valley Central, Chenango Forks Central and Whitney Point Central; 47 in a district 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.

Binghamton City holds 6,361 of the 8,774 homes in ZIP Code 13903 · Binghamton, New York, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 2,400 homes with Susquehanna Valley Central and 13 homes in a district too small to name here.

Binghamton City is one of 6 districts the file names for ZIP Code 13905 · Binghamton, New York at that level. It holds 11,680 of the 13,790 homes there; the rest is 2,066 homes with Johnson City Central, Chenango Valley Central, Whitney Point Central and one more district; 44 homes in a district too small to name here. One name for that area is not a simplification, it is a different answer for 2,110 of the homes in it.

ZIP Code 13904 · Binghamton, New York repeats the pattern with 4 names holding a real share: 2,733 of its 4,305 homes are Binghamton City's, and the other 1,572 are not.

Have a street address?

A ZIP Code names every district that can serve the area; a street address settles which one serves a home. The Census Bureau geocoder takes an exact address and returns its school districts from the current boundary files, free and with no account.

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 4 of the 6 ZIP Code areas Binghamton City 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.

District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.

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.

Where these numbers come from

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
