Incorrect return for a Postal Search


I am hoping that I am doing something wrong but I just hit the service for the zip code of 94553 and it was wildly off:

Here is the url that I used:

http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?Postal=94553&country=us&appid=<my appid>



It should have put me in Martinez, Ca.  Instead I ended up in Oregon.  Not good.

Here is my return:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ResultSet version="1.0"><Error>0</Error><ErrorMessage>No error</ErrorMessage><Locale>us_US</Locale><Quality>10</Quality><Found>1</Found><Result><quality>10</quality><latitude>45.176384</latitude><longitude>-123.045601</longitude><offsetlat>37.167931</offsetlat><offsetlon>-95.845016</offsetlon><radius>6245800</radius><name></name><line1></line1><line2></line2><line3></line3><line4>United States</line4><house></house><street></street><xstreet></xstreet><unittype></unittype><unit></unit><postal></postal><neighborhood></neighborhood><city></city><county></county><state></state><country>United States</country><countrycode>US</countrycode><statecode></statecode><countycode></countycode><uzip></uzip><hash></hash><woeid>23424977</woeid><woetype>12</woetype></Result></ResultSet><!-- gws24.maps.sp1.yahoo.com uncompressed/chunked Thu Oct 13 16:24:12 PDT 2011 --><!-- wws2.geotech.sp2.yahoo.com uncompressed Thu Oct 13 16:24:12 PDT 2011 -->


I am hoping that a zip code search would be more accurate, so I hope I did something wrong.

Thanks.
