ZIP code 40255 serves as a PO Box facility for Louisville's Highlands neighborhood, one of the city's most established urban districts. While the ZIP classification indicates PO Box service, this isn't a remote community where boxes are the only option. The facility sits within the broader 40205 delivery area, and street delivery reaches the same addresses through that neighboring ZIP.
The post office maintains 100 PO Boxes alongside a single carrier route serving Taylorsville Road. That street shows 41 delivery records with unit designations, suggesting multi-tenant properties or business suites. With 163 business customers and minimal residential presence in postal records, this facility appears to function primarily as a mail hub for commercial clients and residents who prefer box service over home delivery. The Highlands and Highlands Douglass neighborhoods that surround this location receive standard carrier service through adjacent ZIPs, making the PO Box designation more of an administrative classification than a reflection of limited delivery options.
With just Taylorsville Road in delivery records, this ZIP's street coverage is minimal. The 41 records with unit types suggest the route serves multi-tenant buildings or business complexes rather than single-family homes. This single-street pattern is common for urban PO Box facilities where the classification reflects administrative boundaries rather than geographic service areas.
ZIP Code 40255 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 5 business establishments, employing about 9 people with an annual payroll of $91,000.
