The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 37665 this district holds 97% of the homes; in 37659 it holds 1 home, under half a percent. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses in the areas it leads

Kingsport City is the largest district in 3 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 10,582 of the 35,978 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.

Kingsport City holds 13,494 of the 20,106 homes in ZIP Code 37660 · Kingsport, Tennessee, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 6,566 homes with Sullivan County and 46 homes in a district too small to name here.

ZIP Code 37664 · Kingsport, Tennessee is a two-district area: 9,416 of its 13,299 homes are inside Kingsport City, and the other 3,883 homes are with Sullivan County. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 37665 · Kingsport, Tennessee the split runs 2,486 to 87 and the larger part is Kingsport City's: the rest is 87 homes with Sullivan County.

Kingsport City reaches into ZIP Code 37663 · Kingsport, Tennessee with 1,744 of its 6,431 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Sullivan County leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 1,744 homes.

Kingsport City is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 37617 · Blountville, Tennessee — Sullivan County leads it — and Kingsport City holds 88 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

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 5 of the 7 ZIP Code areas Kingsport 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.
