ZIP code 39760 is a PO Box ZIP nested within Starkville, Mississippi. It doesn't have its own geographic territory; instead, it operates as a point location enclosed by the main Starkville ZIP 39759. This is home to Mississippi State University, and the ZIP exists primarily to serve university-related mail.
The post office maintains 506 PO Boxes but has zero residential population within the ZIP's boundaries. That's because everyone who picks up mail here lives in 39759 or other surrounding areas. With 328 business delivery points and 839 employees across 25 establishments, this ZIP functions as a commercial and institutional mail hub rather than a residential community.
All 186 street delivery records point to a single address: Taylor Street with unit designators. This pattern is consistent with a large institutional campus where mail goes to one central location and gets distributed internally. The city carrier route handles this delivery.
Starkville isn't a PO Box Only Zone, so residents have alternatives. Most choose street delivery through 39759, while those affiliated with the university or its businesses use 39760's PO Boxes for convenient campus access.
All delivery consolidates to Taylor Street with unit designators, consistent with a university mail center.
