Military Installation Overview

ZIP code 80914 serves Peterson Space Force Base and associated military facilities in Colorado Springs. Despite the primary city name of Colorado Springs, this ZIP exclusively handles mail for military installations, including Peterson AFB, Cheyenne Mountain AFB, and numerous NORAD and USSPACECOM command facilities.

How Military Mail Works Here

Mail here works differently than civilian addresses. The 746 street delivery records span 32 streets, but the real story is in the 345 named buildings. These aren't apartments or offices. They're military units: HQ AFSPC (Air Force Space Command), NORAD command centers, USSPACECOM facilities, and support buildings like the commissary, fitness centers, and base exchange. Streets include Vandenberg St (115 delivery points), NORAD Rd (111 points), and Peterson Blvd.

Top delivery streets by volume:

  • W Ent Ave: 194 records
  • Vandenberg St: 115 records
  • NORAD Rd: 111 records
  • W Stewart Ave: 58 records
  • S Peterson Blvd: 38 records

Population and Personnel

The population statistics tell a military story. Of the 696 residents counted in the Census, 684 live in group quarters (barracks or base housing counted as institutional). With only 10 household units, the population-to-household ratio is 69.6 to 1. Median age is 21.2 years. These are young service members, not traditional residents.

Racial composition:

  • White: 66.2% (461 people)
  • Black or African American: 10.8% (75 people)
  • Asian: 7.3% (51 people)
  • Two or More Races: 6.9% (48 people)

Delivery Pattern

This isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery exists via a single city carrier route serving base addresses. The post office maintains just 2 PO Boxes for the minimal civilian presence. With 62 business establishments employing 631 people, this ZIP functions as a military command and operations center, not a residential community.

Mailing to Service Members

When addressing mail to personnel at Peterson Space Force Base, use the specific building name or unit designation along with the street address. Accepted city aliases include:

  • Colorado Springs (primary)
  • Peterson AFB
  • Cheyenne Mountain AFB
  • Chey Mtn AFB

All variations route to the same postal facility serving this 0.61 square mile military installation in El Paso County.
