ZIP code 60499 serves the South Suburban Processing and Distribution Center in Bedford Park, Illinois. This isn't a residential community. It's a USPS operational facility covering just 0.014 square miles near Chicago's Midway Airport.
The facility maintains 116 PO Boxes and processes mail for 310 business delivery points. Most delivery goes to W 73rd Street, the center's primary address with 185 ZIP+4 records. The 129 named "buildings" in the address database aren't physical structures. They're internal departments and job titles: District Manager Customer Service and Sales, Manager Distribution Operations, Vehicle Maintenance Facility, Data Collection Technicians, and dozens more.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery exists for the facility itself but not for surrounding areas. The South Suburban P&DC serves as a regional mail processing hub for Chicago's south suburbs, which explains the "SOUTH SUBURBAN" and "SOUTH SUBURBN" aliases recognized by USPS since before October 2004.
Bedford Park itself is a small industrial village adjacent to Burbank, Clearing (a Chicago neighborhood), and Summit. The municipality covers about 3 square miles with roughly 570 residents. But ZIP 60499 doesn't serve the village's residential areas. It's purely for the postal facility and its operations.
Mail addressed to 60499 goes to USPS employees and departments at the processing center. Business establishments (7 total) employ 68 people according to census data, likely representing on-site vendors or service contractors rather than the thousands of postal workers at the facility.
W 73rd Street dominates with 185 records representing internal facility addressing; minimal true street diversity.
