Mail delivery at 14778 operates on an institutional model. The post office maintains 1,529 PO Boxes for a campus population of 1,352. That's an adoption rate exceeding the local population, meaning the boxes serve students, faculty receiving personal mail, and likely some residents from surrounding areas. Only three streets appear in ZIP+4 records: St. Bonaventure University, W State Rd, and Warthort. These aren't residential neighborhoods with house-to-house delivery. They're administrative designations for campus buildings and a nearby road.
The university's ZIP+4 records list one named building: Postmaster. That single entry reflects the centralized nature of campus mail. Instead of hundreds of individual addresses, mail flows through a central facility where students and staff collect it from assigned boxes. Two city carrier routes and one rural route handle what limited non-box delivery exists, but the overwhelming majority of mail goes to PO Boxes.
This delivery pattern makes sense for a residential campus. Students arrive in August and leave in May. They don't own property or establish permanent addresses. A PO Box provides stability throughout their enrollment, regardless of which dorm they're assigned to each year. The system handles 60 businesses operating on or near campus, from the university bookstore to food service contractors. The ZIP serves just 0.38 square miles, one of the smallest geographic footprints in New York State, yet it maintains more PO Boxes than many small towns spread across dozens of square miles.
The three street names in ZIP+4 records aren't residential addresses. They're administrative designations for a university campus where mail flows through a central post office rather than individual building delivery. The presence of 'St. Bonaventure University' as a street name itself confirms this is an institutional ZIP serving campus facilities.
