Overview
Understanding ZIP code 12552
ZIP code 12552 is assigned to Newburgh, NY, and falls within Orange County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. This particular code, however, has no residential population attached to it — more on that below.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 12552 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 12552 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
Because 12552 carries no residential population, it is used almost entirely for delivery and administrative routing rather than for demographic analysis. If you are researching the area around it, the neighbouring postal codes listed further down this page will be far more informative.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 12552 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Newburgh may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
