Boring, Maryland is a small postal location in Baltimore County. Despite its classification as a PO Box ZIP, this facility operates differently from most PO Box locations. It doesn't maintain any PO Boxes at all. Instead, it serves as a rural delivery point with 2 rural carrier routes covering Osborn Road and Old Hanover Road.
This ZIP has a MultiPoint geometry, meaning it's a point location rather than an extended territory. The point falls within the larger ZIP 21136 (Reisterstown), which is 3.1 miles away. Census data shows zero population within the ZIP boundaries, as this appears to be a mail routing designation rather than a residential area. The single recorded delivery point is a single-family dwelling unit.
