ZIP 29071 serves downtown Lexington, South Carolina, operating as a PO Box-only facility within the larger Lexington postal system. The post office maintains 553 PO Boxes that serve both local businesses and residents who prefer box service over street delivery. With 670 businesses using this ZIP and only one street address record (W Main), it functions primarily as a commercial and administrative mail hub for the town center.
Lexington's standard street delivery operates through the neighboring ZIP 29072, which actually surrounds this PO Box zone. Residents and businesses here aren't forced to use PO Boxes; they simply choose to. That's common in small Southern towns where the post office sits in the historic downtown and box service offers convenience for business mail and package pickup. The facility's location in Lexington County's seat makes it a natural hub for official correspondence, legal mail, and business transactions that benefit from consistent addressing regardless of physical location changes.
With only W Main appearing in delivery records, this ZIP's street presence is minimal. The 110 unit-based addresses on that single street likely represent a large commercial building, office complex, or the post office facility itself. This pattern confirms the ZIP's primary function as a PO Box hub rather than a residential delivery zone.
ZIP Code 29071 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 34 business establishments, employing about 334 people with an annual payroll of $13,112,000.
