ZIP code 27894 serves as a PO Box hub in downtown Wilson, North Carolina. The post office maintains 375 PO Boxes while supporting a single street delivery route on SW Mercer Street with 184 delivery points. This isn't a geographic area in the traditional sense but rather a postal facility code centered on the Wilson main post office.
The ZIP handles mail for 298 business customers alongside its PO Box customers. Residents and businesses in this ZIP who need street delivery receive it through neighboring ZIP 27893, which covers the surrounding Wilson area. That dual-ZIP structure is common in small cities where the main post office uses one ZIP for its PO Box operations while carrier routes use different codes.
Only one street appears in this ZIP's delivery records: SW Mercer Street with 184 delivery points in a multi-unit building or complex. The SW directional prefix and unit-based delivery suggest this is likely downtown commercial or apartment space near the main post office. The absence of additional streets confirms this is primarily a PO Box facility ZIP rather than a residential delivery area.
ZIP Code 27894 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 38 business establishments, employing about 1,360 people with an annual payroll of $96,215,000.
