Birmingham is the largest metro in Alabama, about 200,000 people in the city and 1.1 million in a region with ZIP codes 352 covering Jefferson County and 350 and 351 the suburbs, including Shelby County to the south. The city's housing is single-family bungalows and cottages on residential routes in Forest Park, Avondale, Crestwood and the Southside; the over-the-mountain suburbs of Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Hoover carry some of the highest home values in the Southeast; and Shelby County (Pelham, Alabaster, Chelsea, Helena) and Trussville to the east are the growth corridors.
Birmingham mails through its healthcare, banking and insurance employers, which mail consumers regionally and nationally from here; through real estate teams farming Mountain Brook, Vestavia and Hoover; through home services companies mailing homeowner lists across the metro; and through the restaurants, barbecue businesses, dental practices, private schools, churches and nonprofits that mail the region.

Over the mountain and the growth corridors
Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Hoover are farmed from homeowner lists by value and mailed by remodelers and home services companies. Pelham, Alabaster, Chelsea and Helena in Shelby County and Trussville and Gardendale to the northeast are the growth corridors with the metro's new mover volume. Forest Park, Avondale and Crestwood inside the city are farmed by agents; the rest of the city and Bessemer are dense EDDM territory.

Air conditioning and termite offers mail in April, roofing after spring storms, heating in October, and new mover programs peak in summer. Mail for the region is processed at the Birmingham facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches local mailboxes in three to five business days.
