CHL Demographics by Zip Code

[joe817]

How very odd it is to see how many zip codes have 1-2 CHL holders. And I was surprised to learn that there are only around 500 in my own zip code as the population is fairly high for this zip code, and yet is is half what it was in my last zip code which has approximately the same population. And was also surprised to see that there are several TX CHL holders in my former zip code from another state. Interesting stats!


How can you tell they are out of state

2 ways. First by looking at zip codes. Texas zip codes start with 75001(Addison) & ends at 88595(El Paso). Austin has 2 unique zip codes that falls out of this range: 73301 & 73344.

A more convenient way is to look at the demographic report by county. At the end of the report it lists out of state new license issues: 2,100. That kind of surprised me.

Because of their zip code.

??? in my zip code it list the # of license. So how did he tell those in his zip were out of state?

You're over thinking this. If you look at the listing of zip codes you will see that some zip codes are NOT for TX. I simply recognized some as being for my former state of residence. And that's all there is to it.

I am sure if someone contacted DPS they would release requested info. as all info are in a database and the request can be done in 1 min or less. Yeah SQL is great.
