[ELI5] Why do some neighborhoods have USPS delivery to the door and others only to the driveway?

263 views

I have seen some high-end neighborhoods with delivery to the mailbox at the entrance and middle-class neighborhoods with delivery to the door. So I suspect it isn’t some local tax thing either like garbage pickup.

Edit: Meant paper mail delivery to clarify!

Its even weirder where I live. Older (like 1930s) homes on my street get delivery to their roadside mailbox. I in my 1950s home have to walk about 750 feet to the point office, where I get a free PO box.

Well, they don’t check that I walked. I’m allowed to drive if I’m feeling lazy.
