The first digit of a ZIP Code

Ten broad postal regions, numbered 0–9 from the Northeast to the West Coast.

The first digit of a ZIP Code represents a group of states. It is the first step in organizing routes for efficient mail delivery: the digits divide the country into ten broad postal regions (0–9) that move roughly from the Northeast (0XXXX) to the West Coast (9XXXX). Each region covers several states, so the first digit of a ZIP Code generally tells you which part of the country it is in.
