The ZIP code's actual footprint is minimal, classified as a MultiPoint location without measurable land area. Mail delivery here follows a rural pattern, with the General Delivery route and two Rural Routes handling addresses that fall outside the standard city delivery system. The post office serves as a convenience for local residents and businesses—about 8 commercial establishments that employ around 280 workers according to business establishment counts. Despite being classified as a PO Box ZIP, the presence of street delivery on Academy Road shows that Cedar Lake isn't entirely box-dependent, though residents in the broader area rely heavily on the PO Box system.
With only Academy Road in the ZIP+4 records, this location has minimal street infrastructure, typical of a rural post office serving a scattered population.
ZIP Code 48812 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 5 business establishments, employing about 280 people with an annual payroll of $2,368,000.
