I'm looking for any kind of flat file that contains every US city, state and zip code. I've searched high and low and can only find databases - which I'm fine using to create the flat file - but I thought I'd check here first.

If nobody else has a ready-made solution I'll parse through a database and post the flat file as the answer.

The reason I need this is for ajax auto-suggest. YQL and other free remote solutions are proving to be inconsistent and at worst, unreliable. I also do not want to make that many database calls.

You could farm these JSON sets:

http://gomashup.com/json.php?fds=geo/usa/zipcode/state/IL&jsoncallback=? http://gomashup.com/json.php?fds=geo/usa/zipcode/state/CA&jsoncallback=?

etc
