ZIP code 13902 serves Binghamton University, a major SUNY campus in Broome County, New York. This isn't a residential neighborhood. It's a university mail system serving 7,260 people, with 99.4% living in group quarters (primarily dormitories). With just 24 traditional households and a median age of 19.5 years, this ZIP code exists almost entirely to handle campus mail distribution.
The post office operates 318 PO Boxes, but the dominant delivery pattern is building-based. Henry Street alone accounts for 191 ZIP+4 records with unit designators, likely covering multiple dormitory buildings and campus facilities. The ZIP+4 records include references to Binghamton University, SUNY, SUNY Binghamton, Harpur College, and various abbreviations (BU, SUNY B), all pointing to the same institution. With 380 business delivery points and 51 establishments employing 2,040 people, this ZIP also handles mail for a major USPS Processing & Distribution Center (PDC) located at the same facility.
Student demographics show a diverse campus population: 61% white, 19% Asian, 12% identifying as some other race, and 6% Black or African American. The racial diversity is typical of a major research university. Per capita income registers at $2,240, which makes sense for a student population with limited earnings. Of the 6,800 residents age 25 and over (likely graduate students and staff), none hold bachelor's degrees according to available data, though this appears to be a data reporting artifact rather than reality.
This ZIP code uses Urban delivery with three city carrier routes serving the campus buildings. There's also one General Delivery route, typical for universities where transient populations need temporary mail access. The facility code indicates a full Post Office (not just a contract station), and city delivery is available despite the PO Box classification. Binghamton University shares the city with standard ZIP codes (HasStandardSibling = 1), so off-campus students and faculty receive mail through neighboring 13901 and other Binghamton ZIP codes.
Mail addressed to Binghamton University should include the building name or unit number along with 13902. The primary format uses Henry Street addresses with unit numbers, though PO Boxes are available for departments and student organizations. Campus mail sorting relies heavily on building names and unit designators to route mail to the correct dormitory, academic building, or administrative office.
Henry Street dominates with 191 records using UNIT designators for campus building delivery.
ZIP Code 13902 has 7,260 residents and 24 households (average 1.67 persons per household). The median age is 19.5 years, significantly younger than the state (39.0) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 48.7% male and 51.3% female, which is about the same as the state male share (48.4%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (61.3%, higher than the state average of 55.2%) and Asian (19.4%, much higher than the state average of 9.6% and well above the national average of 6.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 13.8%, which is lower than the state average (19.5%), and Asian share is much higher than the national average (6.0%).
