A great map that shows the area of the 43085 ZIP codes is on ZIP Code MAP but you will have to feed in the 43085 ZIP code n the 'Key Zip' box at the top to see the map of 43085 and the surrounding ZIP codes. The website says:

"The USPS considers zip codes to be delivery routes instead of areas. There may be differences between this depiction and actual zip code mailing address."

ZIP code means Zone Improvement Plan. A ZIP code is not an area, it is a route... a mail route.

ZIP Code 43085

If your home or work ZIP code is 43085... you live or work in:

Sharon Township

OR

Village of Riverlea

OR

Perry Township? earlier today I thought some of Perry Township was in the 43085 ZIP code... now I am not so sure... I knew of an address in Linworth which was in Perry Township which was not annexed into Worthington although all the other Perry Township addresses on the street had been...but that was 12 years ago.... Properties just a smidge northwest of this property are in Sharon Township.

Perry Township (?) Perry Township properties in the Worthington School District may be in 43235 ZIP code only now (ZIP codes change) properties are annexed.

Does it matter what ZIP code a house is in? Not that much in Central Ohio... your residence can be in the city of Columbus, in the Worthington School District and have a Westerville mailing address.....

Does it matter what municipality you live in? Very much for services.

For example Worthington Trash Pick UP vs. Columbus Trash Pick Up (a subject near and dear to my heart, I blog about Trash Pick Up on Discover Columbus all the time... ) I believe all of the 43085 ZIP code that is in the City of Columbus is NAVY. Another example would be to compare Columbus police and Worthington police service with information provided by those two municipalities.

Almost all.... but not all of the 43085 ZIP code is also in the Worthington School District... Not all of the Worthington School District is in the 43085 ZIP code.

If you want to visit the City of Columbus website say good-bye before clicking the link in the next sentence, you can seldom use your back button to return from that site to another page. Worthington Forest Condominiums is in the Columbus School District. Theoretically there could be more residences along the edge of the 43085 ZIP code that are in other school districts... Links to some other Central Ohio Public School Districts

The Franklin County Auditors site gives what school district and municipality each residence in Central Ohio is located in. Better to check that than make assumptions based on a mailing address or ZIP code.
