The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Albemarle County is the largest district in 12 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 5,165 of the 39,608 homes those areas hold — though in 8 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

ZIP Code 22901 · Charlottesville, Virginia is a two-district area: 13,736 of its 16,391 homes are inside Albemarle County, and the other 2,655 homes are with Charlottesville City. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

The other 2,154 homes are with Fluvanna County and Buckingham County. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

Albemarle County holds 2,044 of the 2,298 homes in ZIP Code 22947 · Rivanna, Virginia, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 254 homes with Fluvanna County and Louisa County.

Albemarle County reaches into ZIP Code 22903 · Charlottesville, Virginia with 6,616 of its 18,475 homes, behind Charlottesville City. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 6,616 homes.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

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 16 of the 24 ZIP Code areas Albemarle County 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.
