Delivery Patterns

Mail delivery here uses a mix of systems. While the ZIP itself only contains PO Box addresses, residents along Numidia Drive receive mail via rural carrier routes. That pattern is common in Pennsylvania hamlets where a post office building serves as the central point for both box holders and route delivery. The facility sits in Columbia County, where scattered settlement patterns made rural routes more practical than door-to-door city delivery.

Street Name Patterns

Single Street Community

The ZIP code's street delivery focuses on a single road, Numidia Drive, which reflects the small hamlet's compact geography. Named for the community itself, the street serves as the primary residential corridor for carrier route delivery.
