2000 Census information on Gay and Lesbian Couples, by zip
code The gayest zip codes These are the zip codes with the greatest cumulation
of same-sex couples. Note: I had previously included zip codes
with only 1 same-sex couple. Even though those statistical extremes are
curious to look at, they do not represent a community feeling per se,
so instead I reflect here zip codes with 5 or more same-sex couples. Each
state has the top zip codes starting
with 1 couple, though. Source: Census Bureau.
6,135 zip codes report zero same-sex couples. Many of
these zip codes include what the Census calls "group quarters",
i.e., jails, hospitals, college dorms, etc. According to the Census, 7,778,633
people live in group quarters. The population of the zip codes that report
zero same-sex couples is 3,139,011, or barely 1.09% of the total U.S.
population.
Zip codes with highest percentage of same-sex couples,
5 or more same-sex couples.
