polygon - zip codes

[OlgaWard]

I am needing a current polygon shape file of zip codes for the state of Florida.  Census is not current, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Please keep in mind that zip codes are collections of mail delivery routes and are amorphous - the Post Office can and will change them at will.

This article does a good job of explaining:

I google searched for florida open data and found this http://geodata.myflorida.com/datasets/FDACS::2018-meal-gap-data   Specifically I found a 2018 meal gap dataset that normalizes by zip code.  Feel free to look for the zip code as a boundary by itself.  Make sure to always check licensing and provide attribution when applicable.
