Make that 1003+ times. At least in my part of the US, even a pretty modest-size city will have multiple zip codes. And zip codes can have zero geographical footprint (meaning street address) - for example, some zip's are just for Post Office Boxes. And a physical address can have an official USPS address & zip of "Middle City", while physically being in (say) Middle Township. And other fun stuff.

Is that an issue? Who cares that new york city has 20+ zip codes? Just fill autofill "new york city, new york".

Again, is it bad except for some joker who wants something sent to an invalid address?
