Use the chart above to cross reference the Carrier Routes shown on the map and find the total number of deliveries. A breakdown of single family and multi-family homes is shown for information purposes only. To qualify for Carrier Route rates, all of the residential addresses must be included.
Businesses can be included or excluded, and still qualify for the saturation postage rate. A higher postage rate applies to a business only mailing.
If this Mail Carrier Route is selected, it can be mailed 2 ways. With only the residential addresses = 513 or if the businesses are included = 560
