The delivery infrastructure is unusual for an urban Winston-Salem ZIP code. While classified as a PO Box ZIP, the zone isn't isolated from street delivery entirely. Residents in the area can receive mail through the single city carrier route serving N Patterson Ave, though the high number of PO Boxes relative to street addresses suggests many local businesses and residents prefer box service. The zone is geographically embedded within the larger 27105 ZIP code, functioning more as a specialized postal facility than a traditional geographic service area.
The street delivery network consists entirely of N Patterson Ave, where all 87 delivery points use unit-based addressing (apartments or suites). This single-street pattern is extremely rare for carrier route delivery and suggests the route serves a specific apartment complex or mixed-use development rather than a traditional neighborhood.
ZIP Code 27102 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 26 business establishments, employing about 925 people with an annual payroll of $82,640,000.
