The post office maintains PO Boxes primarily for Skiles Avenue addresses, which account for all 89 street-related records in the system. This arrangement is common in dense suburban areas where a single facility provides both street delivery (under one ZIP) and PO Box services (under another). The setup allows the post office to efficiently manage commercial mail services while keeping residential carrier routes consolidated under the primary Piscataway ZIP.
Only one street appears in this ZIP's records—Skiles Avenue with unit designations. This limited street presence confirms the facility's primary role as a PO Box operation rather than a street delivery zone.
ZIP Code 08855 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 20 business establishments, employing about 3,089 people with an annual payroll of $394,140,000.
