About ZIP Code 20531

ZIP code 20531 was originally assigned to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), a federal agency created by the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. LEAA administered federal funding to state and local law enforcement as part of President Lyndon Johnson's war on crime. The agency was abolished in 1982 and its functions were absorbed by the Office of Justice Programs. This postal designation has remained in the system for over two decades.

Located in the Downtown Penn Quarter Chinatown area of Northwest Washington, postal records show just one ZIP+4 code for this legacy designation. The minimal footprint reflects the defunct nature of the original agency. Census demographic data is not available for this ZIP. Washington is the valid mailing city. For current justice grant programs, correspondence should be directed to the Office of Justice Programs at ojp.gov.
