Silver City's 88062 ZIP isn't a geographic area. It's a dedicated PO Box ZIP serving downtown Silver City from the post office at 500 N Hudson Street. The town's primary ZIP code, 88061, handles all residential and business street delivery across the actual city boundaries. When Silver City needed more postal capacity, USPS created 88062 specifically for PO Boxes rather than expanding 88061's box range.
This downtown post office maintains 1,136 PO Boxes and serves 218 registered businesses. For a small New Mexico town of roughly 10,000 residents, that's a substantial commercial postal operation. The boxes serve residents who prefer a secure downtown address, businesses that want a professional mailing address separate from their storefront, and people in surrounding Grant County who drive into town for mail services.
The only address record for 88062 is 500 N Hudson Street, which is the post office building itself. Any street-format addresses you see using this ZIP are actually PO Box Street Addressing (PBSA), where box holders can receive packages using the post office's street address with their box number as a unit number. So "500 N Hudson St Unit 123" delivers to PO Box 123.
Silver City sits in the foothills of the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico. It's a former mining town that now anchors Grant County's economy with Western New Mexico University, tourism to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, and retirees attracted to the mild climate and arts scene.
