Meadowbrook ZIP Coverage
Chesterfield GIS prepared the county's official ZIP map in September 2021. It is a broad geography aid and carries a disclaimer that it is not for land conveyance. For Meadowbrook, the map supports two candidate postal zones: 23234 and 23237. It does not support a claim that every address in either zone lies within Meadowbrook CDP. An exact address check remains necessary because postal zones cross Census places, precincts, and subdivisions.
| ZIP code | Areas shown on county map | Post office stated? | Meadowbrook use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23234 | North Chesterfield, including the Cogbill Road and Meadowbrook High area | No station is named on the researched map | Core candidate for many Meadowbrook addresses; verify the address. |
| 23237 | North Chesterfield, Route 1, and surrounding county area | No station is named on the researched map | Core candidate for the southern or eastern Meadowbrook edge; verify the address. |
| 23224 | North Chesterfield and Richmond-edge county area | No station is named on the researched map | Nearby map zone, not automatically Meadowbrook. |
| 23225 | Richmond and North Chesterfield edge | No station is named on the researched map | Nearby postal area; test an address before matching it to the CDP. |
| 23235 and 23236 | Western North Chesterfield and Midlothian-side areas | No station is named on the researched map | Nearby county ZIPs, not assumed to serve Meadowbrook. |
The map also labels 23112, 23113, 23114, 23120, 23803, 23806, 23831, 23832, 23834, 23836, and 23838. Those labels provide countywide context only. They do not establish a Meadowbrook address without the address-level postal result.
Meadowbrook Candidate ZIP Codes
Addresses associated with Meadowbrook may use 23234 or 23237. That careful wording matters. Meadowbrook is a Census-Designated Place, while North Chesterfield is commonly used in postal addressing and Chesterfield County is the records custodian. A record can properly use more than one of those names. The postal label is not a substitute for the Census polygon, and a ZIP zone is not a municipal boundary.
The county ZIP map supplies broad orientation. The Census TIGERweb geography is the better source for the Meadowbrook CDP polygon. Use the Postal Service for current city, state, and ZIP formatting. Each source answers a different question.
Note: Do not replace an exact address result with a ZIP-map label when preparing mail or identifying a parcel.
Meadowbrook ZIP Lookup Check
The USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the final check for postal routing. Research confirmed that its address route requires an exact address. The controls and a Meadowbrook sample response were not captured, so the documented approach is intentionally narrow: enter the full address and rely on the returned postal city, state, and ZIP rather than guessing from the word Meadowbrook.
- Write the street number, street name, directional form, street type, and unit exactly as used by the address holder.
- Submit the complete address to the USPS exact-address lookup and retain the postal result with the search date.
- Compare the result with the county ZIP map only for broad county orientation, not for a delivery guarantee.
- Open the Census CDP layer if the question is whether the point lies in Meadowbrook geography.
- Use GIS or READ for the parcel question after the postal ZIP is confirmed.
A ZIP code can narrow a mailing question, but it cannot provide a list of Meadowbrook residents. Once an address has been narrowed to a street, the Meadowbrook street directory has the county address, parcel, and deed workflow.
Meadowbrook ZIP GIS Points
ZIP-capable county portals are indirect. Chesterfield's Address_ProdA service can be queried by street or geography and is updated daily, but research did not document ZIP as a field or filter in the public layer. The Parcel Viewer can be narrowed visually to map extent, but its precise ZIP-filter controls were not documented. READ can locate a parcel by situs address, parcel identifier, or geography, but its public page does not promise ZIP as a search mode.
| County field or route | Verified input or field | ZIP code role |
|---|---|---|
| County Address Service | Address, Unit, TaxId, Gpin, OBJECTID, and geometry | Locates the address point before its postal ZIP is confirmed elsewhere. |
| GIS Parcel Viewer | Parcel, subdivision, school, political district, and map context | Supports parcel and street context; a ZIP filter was not documented. |
| READ assessment | Situs address, parcel identifier, or geography | Locates a property record; ZIP search capability was not documented. |
| ELM/Accela | Address, parcel information, owner, record information, and licensed professional | May show ZIP in an address result, but complete fields were not captured. |
| USPS exact lookup | Complete street address | Returns the current postal answer; live result fields were not captured. |
The honest local workflow is therefore address first, postal verification second, then parcel or street context. No source found in the research supports a ZIP-wide public people list.
For a ZIP-sliced street task, query the County Address Service by street or a narrowed map area first. Preserve the returned unit, TaxId, Gpin, and geometry for each point. Confirm each full address with USPS before grouping results by postal ZIP. This avoids turning one apartment or a broad map extent into a claim about a single household or a whole Meadowbrook postal zone.
Meadowbrook ZIP Boundary Layers
ZIP boundaries and Meadowbrook limits are separate systems. The Census Bureau identifies Meadowbrook as CDP FIPS 5150568, with a 2020 population of 20,898 across 8.15 square miles. Those figures describe community geography, not a postal service area. A single ZIP can cross several Census places, precincts, and subdivisions, while a CDP can reach more than one ZIP. The same address may be associated with Meadowbrook in one setting and North Chesterfield in another without conflict.
Use the Census TIGERweb Meadowbrook geography to inspect the CDP layer before comparing it with a postal zone.
The Census geography view helps keep a Meadowbrook CDP question separate from a postal-routing question.
For a property-history question, keep the Chesterfield tax ID or GPIN and legal description. A ZIP code is a current postal attribute that can change, while a deed chain follows the parcel and recorded legal description.
Note: A map label is useful for orientation but is not evidence for a legal boundary or a land conveyance.
Meadowbrook ZIP Precinct Geography
Meadowbrook High School at 4901 Cogbill Road, North Chesterfield, VA 23234 is the county's official polling place for precinct 208. It is a useful local anchor for explaining how geographic layers overlap. The school address, the precinct, the ZIP, and the Meadowbrook CDP are related datasets, not interchangeable boundaries. Chesterfield lists precinct 208 in Dale District and reports aggregate registration totals rather than a public voter roster.
The Virginia Citizen Portal is an individual self-service tool. It requires first and last name, date of birth, last four SSN digits, locality, and certification of self-access or express authorization. It is not a public search for names attached to a postal zone. Use the county precinct map for an election-boundary question and USPS for a mailing question.
Meadowbrook ZIP Map Updates
County GIS and Parcel Viewer information received 2025 updates, including a county posting about the Parcel Viewer and links to Open GIS Data. That makes the address and parcel layers useful current context, but a new viewer does not change the distinction between postal and Census geography. Check the county's current GIS resources when map controls or layer availability matter to a specific address search.
Meadowbrook and Meadowdale also appear in the 2025 comprehensive-plan materials as a potential future specific-area plan. That is planning context, not an adopted boundary, current ZIP change, or neighborhood map. It should not be used to extend or redraw a postal zone.
Meadowbrook ZIP Terms
Postal terms can make an address search look more exact than it is. Use them only for the role they describe, then verify the output with the relevant custodian. The research did not identify a Meadowbrook-specific PO-box-only ZIP, unique ZIP, realignment, or split, so none is asserted here.
- ZIP code
- A Postal Service routing code used with an address; it is not a Census-place boundary.
- ZIP+4
- An added four-digit extension that refines delivery routing within a five-digit ZIP code.
- PO-box ZIP
- A ZIP used for post-office-box delivery and not necessarily for street delivery.
- Unique ZIP
- A ZIP assigned for a specific organization or delivery arrangement; none was documented for Meadowbrook.
- Carrier route
- A delivery sequence within postal operations, not a neighborhood or resident boundary.
Use an exact address and the official source that matches the question. Postal formatting belongs with USPS, CDP geography with Census TIGERweb, and parcel context with Chesterfield GIS. If the address carries a unit, retain it through every check because the unit can affect the delivery result and county address point. Save the result date beside the full address.
Meadowbrook ZIP Lookup Limits
A ZIP code directory can identify likely postal zones and direct an address to the right official check. It cannot establish that all points in 23234 or 23237 are Meadowbrook, and it cannot identify every person at an address. Keep unit records separate in county address data. A parcel owner, a mailing address, a directory listing, and a voter are separate record roles with different access rules.
Virginia protects voter information, vital records within their confidentiality periods, DMV records, sealed court matters, and Address Confidentiality Program data through separate laws and procedures. Use only the minimum record needed for a lawful personal purpose, such as family history, estate work, civic research, or verifying a mailing address with its custodian. Do not use records to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
