How to use Lafayette ZIP code data
A ZIP is a mail route, not a city boundary. Before you rely on any ZIP figure, check three things.
- City and tax area. The county tax bill shows the tax rate area, which sets which city, school and special district charges apply. Our Contra Costa County property tax guide explains how to read it.
- School district. Most of Lafayette is in the Lafayette School District, with a small part in Orinda Union. Use the district lookup tools on our Lafayette schools page.
- Sample size. A ZIP with 40 to 90 sales a quarter moves a lot from month to month. Look at several months and at your own home type. Each ZIP's data page has the full history.
