El Paso's border location creates unique mail patterns. Many residents and businesses maintain PO Boxes for cross-border commerce, receiving packages from both U.S. and Mexican addresses. Others use boxes because their street addresses fall into different ZIP codes but they prefer a consistent mailing address. Still others work in Mexico but live in El Paso, or vice versa, and need a stable U.S. postal presence.
This ZIP doesn't appear in census data because no one lives here. It's infrastructure, not community.
