I was turned off by their blurp that their US zip codes database contains only 21k zips out of 41.5k. Are they sufficiently complete for small towns?

The incomplete zips (for at least one database I've read about) come from corporate or industrial areas where not many people actually live.

Officially US zip codes are just collections of addresses, they don't necessarily correspond to areas.

I think most free datasets are probably just the areas that Census derived for TIGER (or at the very least, rely heavily on that data).
