64589

64589 is a five-digit ZIP code used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to designate a specific geographic area for mail delivery. The ZIP code system, introduced in 1963, assigns five-digit codes to help route mail efficiently, with the first digits guiding the code to a broad region and the remaining digits narrowing it to a local area.

The 64589 designation is associated with a postal district in Missouri. Like many rural ZIP codes, it can cover a relatively large geographic area that includes multiple residences, farms, and small businesses, rather than a single densely populated city. Mail for addresses within this ZIP code is routed through the local post office or postal facility serving that district, and the code may be used in address data, census planning, and various geographic information systems.

ZIP codes are redefined or adjusted occasionally as population and delivery networks change, but 64589 serves as the registered five-digit identifier for its corresponding area as assigned by the USPS. The code is primarily relevant for mail delivery and addressing, while broader demographic or economic information would typically be obtained from census or state and local planning datasets.
