Just to be fussy:

  set aZip to aZip div 100

Stuff like this can be optimised to:

  repeat with i from 0 to 999
    if i < 6 then
      set end of zipCodeList to missing value
    else if i < 10 then
      set end of zipCodeList to "PR"
    else if i < 28 then
      set end of zipCodeList to "MA"
    else if i < 30 then

These overlap! ("MD" is eliminated with "VA".) Similarly with much of the
stuff below:
