ZIP code 40522 isn't a traditional post office serving a neighborhood. It's a point-location ZIP in Lexington, Kentucky, enclosed entirely within ZIP 40502. All mail operations center on a single address: Duke Road. With 174 PO Boxes and 236 business delivery points, this ZIP functions as a commercial mail hub rather than a residential service area.
The data tells a clear story. Zero population. Zero housing units. No Census tract of its own. Instead, 8 business establishments employ about 10 people at this location. The PO Box classification makes sense here because the ZIP exists purely to serve businesses and organizations that need a dedicated mailing address separate from standard Lexington delivery routes.
This ZIP sits within the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Lexington-Fayette, surrounded by established subdivisions like Indian Mound, Woodlake, and Louisiana Ave. Residents in these areas receive mail through ZIP 40502 and other standard Lexington ZIPs. The 40522 ZIP serves a different purpose: providing private mailbox services and business mail handling at a single facility on Duke Road.
Street delivery does exist within this ZIP, but it's limited to one city carrier route serving the Duke Road address. The 48 street-type records all point to units at this single location. If you're mailing to 40522, you're sending to a PO Box or a business unit at this commercial mail center, not to a home address.
Only one street exists in this ZIP: Duke Road, which hosts all 48 street delivery records at a commercial mail facility.
