A Dedicated PO Box ZIP

ZIP code 95502 serves downtown Eureka, California, as a dedicated PO Box facility within the larger Eureka postal area. It doesn't have its own geographic territory. Instead, it exists as a point location within the 95501 ZIP that handles regular street delivery. This arrangement lets the post office manage a large volume of PO Boxes separately from carrier operations.

Business-Focused Mail Services

The facility maintains 1,569 PO Boxes and serves 484 businesses. Those numbers tell a clear story: this isn't a residential neighborhood needing mail. It's a business hub. Downtown Eureka's commercial district uses these boxes for professional correspondence, legal documents, and package delivery.

Understanding the Street Addresses

Street addresses in this ZIP (W Clark St, F St, and H St) are PO Box Street Addresses. They're alternative formats that deliver to boxes, not actual street delivery routes. The 3 city carrier routes shown in the data refer to this PBSA system, not neighborhood mail carriers walking routes.
