Get Zip Codes within Radius

[TraverSisson]

I am working on a project where I need to return all zip codes within a given radius of another zip code, user will provide zip code and search radius I would like to return all the postal codes within that radius.  Has anyone done anything similar like this and wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction?

Hi,

Do you have a service that contains ZIP codes?

I would probably do it like this:
- user selects area that is used as a base geometry
- user gives radius
- Create buffer from base geometry by radius (using ie. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/buffer.html)
- Use buffered geometry to get other ZIP code areas from the service by using it as a filter

Hope this helps

You can use the SelectNear tool. Pass in the centroid of the selected ZIP, and a radius.

We are also having a similar requirement to draw a circle from center of zip code, zip code and radius will be provided by the user.
Thanks
