The ZIP code covers only 0.055 square miles along Highway 55, making it one of Alabama's smallest postal zones by area. The facility itself appears in postal records as the "POSTMASTER" building, with Highway 55 as the only street address on record. This isn't a residential community—it's a postal service point.
The adoption rate of 46 PO Boxes per household represents one of the highest ratios in Shelby County. Residents from nearby areas rely on this post office because their own locations lack carrier routes. The facility bridges the gap between rural areas without delivery infrastructure and the postal system.
Enclosed within the larger 35147 ZIP code area, Westover's postal zone exists specifically to provide PO Box service. The single occupied housing unit recorded in census data likely refers to postal staff or facility management rather than a typical residential address. This setup is common in Alabama, where small postal facilities serve scattered rural populations across county lines.
Highway 55 is the only street on record, reinforcing this location's role as a rural postal access point along a major corridor rather than a developed community with a street network.
