$\begingroup$ URLs like this: city-data.com/zips/02108.html It's not well formatted like a CSV, so you have to use regexes/scraping etc. The US census has some nicely fomatted data census.gov/epcd/www/zipstats.html and factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml but they don't have the breadth. $\endgroup$
