Zip codes are not restricted by county lines. The 32163 zip code includes both Brownwood in Sumter County and Kramer Ct in Lake County.

Zip codes are not required to be contiguous. The 32163 zip code includes the Villages immediately north of 44 and south of the Turnpike but not the area between which appears to be in the 34785 zip code.

Not all zip codes have a physical post office. When I needed to speak to someone about my mail delivery I was told to visit the Teague Trail location which is in the 32159 zip code.

The USPS *could* give all the Villages the same zip code but I suspect they do not because it would defeat the purpose of the zip code.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
