ZIP 80841 serves as the dedicated PO Box facility for the United States Air Force Academy in El Paso County, Colorado. This ZIP exists solely for mail processing and doesn't include the Academy's residential or academic facilities, which fall under the neighboring ZIP 80840. The post office maintains 4,171 PO Boxes exclusively for cadets, staff, and Academy operations.
Mail delivery at the Academy follows a building-based system. Most mail goes to PO Boxes, but some locations receive direct delivery via two city carrier routes serving Vandenberg Drive, where 209 delivery points use unit designators. This dual system allows the Academy to handle both individual cadet mail through boxes and institutional deliveries to facilities.
The alias "CADET STA" (Cadet Station) is recognized as a valid mailing name, though USAF Academy remains the preferred designation. Both names direct mail to the same post office facility. The Academy's 4,171 PO Boxes serve a population that isn't counted in this ZIP's Census data because cadets and most personnel are tallied under the broader 80840 ZIP or their home states.
This is not a PO Box Only Zone. Limited street delivery exists for institutional facilities, but individual mail for cadets and personnel uses the PO Box system. The high box count relative to the zero residential population indicates this ZIP functions purely as a mail processing center for a large military institution.
Vandenberg Drive handles most street delivery using unit designators, likely serving Academy facilities rather than individual housing.
ZIP Code 80841 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
