ZIP code 29230 serves as a postal hub for North Columbia and Hyatt Park neighborhoods in South Carolina's capital city. The post office maintains 278 PO Boxes primarily for the Lamar Street area, though residents also receive street delivery through the surrounding 29203 ZIP code. This creates a dual-delivery system where customers can choose between traditional carrier delivery to their street address or a PO Box for business mail, package security, or personal preference.
The facility supports 127 businesses despite having just one street in its delivery boundaries. That concentration suggests commercial users value the PO Box system for mail consistency and package security. Small business owners, home-based consultants, and professionals often prefer PO Boxes to separate business correspondence from residential delivery or to maintain a stable mailing address if they move within the metro area.
Only one street appears in postal records for this ZIP code: Lamar Street, which accounts for all 75 street-based delivery records. This concentration reflects the ZIP's primary function as a PO Box facility rather than a geographic delivery zone.
ZIP Code 29230 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 5 business establishments, employing about 22 people with an annual payroll of $613,000.
