I am pretty sure I have the zip code data you would need. I will have to
check. If you want, contact me off list.

Sigh.  Used that, and started looking at other things.  This does not look
like an easy problem in any way shape or form.  And, it looks highly
costly.  Complete state maps (doesn't appear that I can buy less from the
state) are $350 for starters.

I'll have to see if I can find someone at the GIS lab on campus to help
me.  I'm sure there have to be some somewhat pre written solutions, and at
the least, they should help me actually figure out what it all means, and
how the existing analysis tools work.
