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

Question

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!

Answer 1

I believe in my neighborhood at least the HOA decided to have the communal one put in, the houses up the street still have personal mail boxes at the street in front of the house. I know there is some neighborhoods in my town that have door to door will mailboxes on the front of the house
