I am needing a current polygon shape file of zip codes for the state of Florida. Census is not current, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I google searched for florida open data and found this http://geodata.myflorida.com/datasets/FDACS::2018-meal-gap-data Specifically I found a 2018 meal gap dataset that normalizes by zip code. Feel free to look for the zip code as a boundary by itself. Make sure to always check licensing and provide attribution when applicable.

Please keep in mind that zip codes are collections of mail delivery routes and are amorphous - the Post Office can and will change them at will.
This article does a good job of explaining:
