Which of these to mail, and why

Higher-income ZIP codes suit offers with a bigger ticket: remodeling, pools, roofing, financial planning, private schools, premium dining. A median describes the middle household, not every door, so the routes inside each ZIP still vary.

The top five ZIP codes on this list hold 21,393 households, on 49 carrier routes with 22,879 residential mailboxes. Open any of them on the route map to see each carrier route's own figures before you choose.
