The ZIP's single street delivery route—Atlanta Highway with 482 delivery points—handles business addresses while residential delivery happens through the neighboring 30606 ZIP code. This arrangement is common in college towns where postal operations separate business services from residential carrier routes. Athens is home to the University of Georgia, and this PO Box ZIP supports the commercial activity surrounding the campus and broader Athens area.
Businesses choose PO Boxes here for consistency. A fixed box number doesn't change when a company moves locations within Athens, making it practical for long-term business mail. The high ratio of PO Boxes to street addresses (532 boxes serving a zone with effectively zero residential population) confirms this ZIP's role as a postal services hub rather than a traditional delivery zone.
The single street, Atlanta Highway, represents a commercial corridor through Athens with business delivery points. The street name indicates this ZIP serves addresses along the major highway route through the city.
