Given that you can not only search by zip code but also by state and district, it’s perhaps worth revisiting the menu item title, “Search by Zip code” to be more inclusive of the ways you can search and to be an easier mental translation by the users. \r\n\r\nrevising the navigation item \"search by zip code\".
