Key Facts
  • This ZIP code contains only PO Boxes (548 total) and doesn't cover a geographic area with street delivery
  • The facility serves both Key West and Stock Island, with alternate names including the abbreviation 'KY WST'
  • Business boxes (235) represent 43% of total box assignments, much higher than typical residential ratios
  • All ZIP+4 records (222) reference Whitehead Street, though actual carrier delivery happens in neighboring ZIP 33040
  • The classification as a PO Box-only ZIP reflects service structure rather than island accessibility
  • Key West has street delivery available through ZIP 33040, making this a choice-based rather than necessity-based PO Box facility

Service Structure

This isn't a conventional ZIP code with defined boundaries. It exists as a service point for customers who choose PO Box delivery over street addresses. The facility serves both Key West and Stock Island residents, indicated by the alternate city names associated with the designation. While 222 ZIP+4 records reference Whitehead Street carrier routes, these belong to neighboring 33040, the standard street delivery ZIP that actually covers Key West's residential and commercial districts.

Island Mail Patterns

The PO Box concentration here reflects island lifestyle patterns rather than service limitations. Second homeowners and seasonal residents often maintain boxes year-round even when they're not on the island, ensuring mail continuity regardless of occupancy. Businesses operating from multiple Keys locations also concentrate their correspondence here. The 235 business-specific box assignments suggest commercial adoption exceeds typical residential patterns.

Geographic Context

Key West's postal infrastructure splits delivery between this PO Box facility and the street carrier routes of 33040. The overlap creates an unusual situation where the same Whitehead Street address might appear in both ZIPs depending on delivery method. This dual-ZIP arrangement is common in resort communities where mail volume and seasonal population swings require specialized service structures separate from geographic coverage.

Street Name Patterns

Single Street Reference

Whitehead Street is Key West's main north-south artery running from the Gulf to the Atlantic. Its appearance in 33041's ZIP+4 records is administrative reference rather than actual delivery territory, since carrier routes operate under ZIP 33040.
