Zip Codes of Craigslist – Esri
Here are Zip Code Tabulation Areas colored by what Craigslist economic zone they fall within.
If you’d like to just skip all the how-to-edness and grab the data I won’t hold it against you much.
Craigslist economic zones derived from drive-time areas (24MB)
Zip Code Tabulation Areas with Craigslist zone affiliation attribute (59MB).
Simple Excel lookup table of Zip Codes to Craigslist zones (62KB).
This map does two things. It grows economic zones from Craigslist’s list of sites using Drive-Time. Then it associates member zip codes using a spatial join. Here’s how to do it…
Site Names to Geographic Points
In the past I’ve zoned up the US into Craigslist states via a simple Thiessen (Vorornoi) method. That’s cool and everything, but not great. Craigslist transactions are a primarily a literal transportation network transaction. You buy a kayak, you go pick it up. No unseen delivery mechanism or virtual transaction. Craigslist involves getting in a car (or walking or public transit). So drive times are a great way to draw up these economic zones.
Craigslist provides a big list of all their sites, and a map that plots some of those locations. In some instances sites have a dual-location name (like Raleigh/Durham) and sometimes they have generic locations (like “Southeast Iowa”). Sometimes there are multiple points on the map that link to the same site. So I captured all these locations and did my best to manually place then geocode them. Here is an excel table of that if you like. Glorious glorious geographic points.
Geographic Points to Drive-Time Areas
I used these points as the input locations for the “Generate Service Areas” tool. I left all the parameters the default with the exception of “Geometry at Overlaps” which I set to “Not Overlapping. ” That way the areas plow into each other and stop, creating discrete zones weighted by the underlying street network.
A note on credits. This tool “consumes” credits. Hang on a second here; “consumes” feels so hungry so rapacious. What if it said, “this tool requires loving feeding of credits”? Anyway, it costs one half credit per input location. With 442 input locations that’s 221 credits, which the credit doc page tells me is worth around $22. 10. I mean, this is a lot of input locations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I ran the tool and it took just under an hour. The process is done remotely since I’m using the esri road network, and the results catapulted right back to my laptop.
Here they are with some basemap context.
I could also clip away the resulting Craigslist economic zones that spill into Canada and Mexico (they have their own Craigslist sites, after all, and crossing a border can be a burden), but if someone in Northern Montana wants to cross the border to pick up a kayak who am I to get in the way? The zip code affiliation step a bit later on will largely mitigate this border concern anyway.
Remember how I sometimes made several geographic locations for Craigslist sites (or sometimes the Craigslist map plotted multiple points for a single site)? For example, I had drive-time input locations for both Raleigh and Durham for the “Raleigh / Durham / CH” craigslist site. And Akron and Canton points for the single “Akron / Canton” site. There’s lots of this sort of thing in my list.
Time to dissolve these into their true singular entities by doing a Dissolve. I dissolved by their Craigslist site URL.
Here is a quick selection of some of the merged drive-time zones for multi-place sites, to give you an idea of what I mean…
You can have at these Craigslist economic zones (that’s an $22 value! ). Lots of cool things to be done with these. Here is one cool thing you can do…
Assigning Zip Codes a Craigslist Affiliation
In the past when I’ve made the simpler versions of these Craigslist zones, I got requests for lists of zip codes that fell within each. That’s an intriguing idea and probably really useful as a marketing tool. It’s mega simple to do, using the just-plain-bonkers-magic of a spatial join.
I downloaded a big fat shapefile of 2018 Zip Code Tabulation Areas from the benevolent and gracious US Census Bureau.
You can associate the attributes of features in one layer based on their proximity to features in another layer. Below is a one-minute video showing you how. What a time to be alive!
And here you can see the zip codes now have an attribute that says what Craigslist zone they fall within.
You can have this data (59MB shapefile), but please use your powers for good instead of evil.
If you’d rather not deal with the shapes of all these zip code areas, and prefer a lean (62KB) Excel lookup table of zip codes to Craigslist zones then you can download that here. If you are interested in adding demographic attributes to Craigslist zones, then check out this related post.
Thanks for following along, and all the best in your own drive-time-economic-zone-creating information-joining understanding-building action-enabling adventures! John
About the author
I have far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users. I work in the ArcGIS Living Atlas team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways and then sharing the process. I also design user experiences for maps and apps.
When I’m not doing those things, I’m chasing around toddlers and wrangling chickens, and generally getting into other ad-hoc adventures. Life is good.

What City Has the Most Traffic on Craigslist? – Small Business …
Used wisely, Craigslist becomes a valuable resource to your business. The site is not just for individuals; many companies across the world use the site to post jobs or advertise services. Craigslist boasts “more than 700 local sites in 70 countries, ” giving you plenty of places to post. But with so many options, choosing the right city to post in may seem like a game of chance, like throwing darts while blindfolded. Removing that blindfold reveals which US cities see the most Craigslist traffic. Top Five Cities Website traffic ranking service Alexa estimates Craigslist is the eighth most-visited site in the United States as of April 2013. While the actual statistics collected by Alexa may not be completely accurate, they offer a clear idea of which US cities see the most Craigslist traffic. Not surprising, the results show five of the most heavily populated cities in the country. In order of most visited, the Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle and Chicago sites have seen the most traffic over Alexa’s three-month data collection period. According to the Alexa data, the Los Angeles Craigslist accounts for 6. 41 percent of the traffic going to Craigslist, while Chicago makes up 3. 07 percent of Craigslist traffic. Changes While it’s safe to say that these big cities will continue to see high traffic, the exact ranking may change. The percentage difference in traffic between Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York is less than one percent. One of the lower ranked cities may easily overtake Los Angeles as the most visited city on Craigslist. Sub-Sections Craigslist’s city sites can be viewed as a whole or broken down into smaller sub-sections based on location. For example, while the New York City craigslist encompasses all areas of the city, users may choose the “Manhattan” section to only see listings from Manhattan. The sites may also include areas that aren’t actually within the designated city, but closeby. The NYC Craigslist also encompasses the entire state of New Jersey, while the Los Angeles Craigslist includes nearby cities like Long Beach and others within the Los Angeles County area. While posting to the whole city may increase your post’s overall traffic, targeting a specific and relevant sub-section helps ensure the right people see your post. Posting in Multiple Cities Craigslist’s Frequently Asked Questions page expressly states that it is against the site’s rules to post the same ad in multiple cities. The document suggests that you post to the site closest to you in location, but also says that “if your ad is equally relevant to all locations, your ad does not belong on Craigslist. ” While skirting this rule might seem like a harmless way to give your ad more exposure, getting caught will likely get your post deleted and may result in you losing your account.
