The USPS classifies this as a P-type ZIP, meaning it contains only post office boxes with no carrier route delivery. There's no land area measurement because the ZIP doesn't cover geographic territory in the traditional sense. Instead, it represents a single point - the main downtown Fort Worth post office at W Lancaster Ave. Nearby ZIP 76102 provides the enclosing geographic context, handling actual street delivery for the surrounding downtown area.
This arrangement isn't unusual for major Texas cities. Downtown post offices often maintain separate PO Box ZIPs to handle commercial mail volume while neighboring ZIPs manage residential and business street delivery. The 476 businesses using this ZIP likely include law firms, financial services, and other professional operations that prefer a prestigious Fort Worth address without maintaining downtown office space. Some may be registered agents, mail forwarding services, or businesses operating primarily online.
The ZIP4 database shows 74 records for W Lancaster Ave with unit designations, confirming the building-based organization typical of institutional ZIPs. With 122 total ZIP+4 codes serving just one street location, the postal service has created detailed internal routing for what's essentially a single facility. This level of granularity helps sort high volumes of business mail efficiently. The classification reasoning notes this as a "small town hub" with PO Box service, though "urban business hub" would better describe its actual function in the fourth-largest city in Texas.
Only one street appears in postal records: W Lancaster Ave, which is the physical location of the downtown Fort Worth post office building. The 74 records represent internal unit designations within the facility rather than multiple buildings or addresses.
ZIP Code 76101 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 33 business establishments, employing about 563 people with an annual payroll of $54,489,000.
