I wonder if they match the first digits of the zip code. Sounds pretty
close for the East Coast.
Nope, most of the Atlantic states don't have the first digit as their
respective zips. Besides ZipCodes weren't implemented until well after
SS was established.
For a certain age group and younger, who are born in here, perhaps.
Older people and new citizens get their numbers where they are living

SSNs are for the most part now assigned as soon as an individual's birth
