Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 336 PO Boxes for only 3 occupied households, an adoption rate of 112 boxes per household
  • This extreme ratio indicates Red Oak primarily serves businesses and residents from surrounding communities, not local residents
  • With 110 business delivery points and 218 employees at 9 establishments, this is a commercial hub rather than a residential community
  • Roosevelt Highway accounts for 95 of 108 street delivery records, making it the dominant commercial corridor
  • This is a PO Box Only Zone despite having some carrier delivery routes, spanning just 0.055 square miles
  • The Census counts only 25 residents (3 households), but the service area extends to nearby East Point and Atlanta neighborhoods

A Commercial Service Point

Red Oak sits in southern Fulton County, Georgia, just south of Atlanta's city limits. This ZIP doesn't serve a traditional town. It's a small commercial hub along Roosevelt Highway (US Route 29/Georgia State Route 14) that provides mail services to a much larger surrounding area.

Mail Demand Far Exceeds Local Population

The Red Oak post office maintains 336 PO Boxes despite having only 3 occupied households within the ZIP's 0.055 square mile footprint. That's an adoption rate of 112 boxes per household. This extreme ratio makes sense when you realize the ZIP serves 110 business delivery points and 9 business establishments employing 218 people. Businesses from East Point, College Park, and surrounding South Fulton neighborhoods use Red Oak addresses.

Roosevelt Highway Commercial Corridor

Roosevelt Highway dominates the address landscape with 95 of the 108 street-type delivery records. The highway corridor contains commercial suites and units, reflected in the secondary address types (STE, UNIT). Other streets like Bailey Street, Church Street, and Delano Road handle minimal delivery points each.

PO Box Only Zone Status

This is a PO Box Only Zone. While the ZIP has some carrier delivery routes (both city and rural routes exist), most mail users rely on PO Boxes. The 25 residents within the ZCTA boundary are a tiny fraction of the people and businesses this post office serves. Nearby neighborhoods like Heritage Park (0.8 miles away) and Princeton Lakes (2.1 miles away) fall outside this ZIP but likely use Red Oak for mail.

Demographics and Business Presence

Of the 25 residents counted here, 72% are Black or African American, with a median age of 47.2 years. But residential population isn't the story. The business presence is what defines Red Oak: a commercial corridor providing regional mail access in metro Atlanta's southern suburbs.
