Two ZIPs, One City

South Pasadena maintains two ZIP codes. 91030 handles street delivery across the city, while 91031 exists solely for PO Box service at the local post office. This isn't a separate community. It's a postal accounting distinction that lets USPS track PO Box operations independently from carrier routes.

No Territory, Just a Post Office

The 91031 ZIP has no geographic territory of its own. It's a point location contained within 91030's boundaries. All 1,026 PO Boxes served by this ZIP sit at the South Pasadena post office on Fremont Avenue. The 143 ZIP+4 records associated with Fremont Ave aren't street addresses. They're PO Box Street Addressing records that let customers receive packages using the post office's physical address instead of a traditional PO Box number.

Business Use

With 488 business delivery points and 1,026 PO Boxes, local businesses use PO Box service heavily. Some prefer a PO Box for privacy or consistency. Others use it because they don't have a physical storefront. The post office sits in a walkable commercial district, making it convenient for downtown merchants to pick up mail.
