New Orleans is a city of about 370,000 people, with ZIP codes 701 covering Orleans Parish, at the center of a metro of 1.3 million that includes Metairie and Kenner in Jefferson Parish (700), Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish, and the Northshore towns of Mandeville, Covington and Slidell in St. Tammany Parish (704). The city's housing is shotguns, Creole cottages and raised homes on dense residential routes in Uptown, Mid-City, the Bywater, Gentilly and Lakeview; Metairie and Kenner are postwar suburbs on large routes; and the Northshore is the affluent growth market across the lake.
New Orleans businesses mail a market built around the house and the weather: roofing, air conditioning, plumbing, termite and pest control, foundation and elevation companies mail homeowner lists; insurance agencies mail before and after hurricane season; real estate teams farm Uptown, Lakeview and the Northshore; restaurants, po-boy shops and caterers mail EDDM; and the hospitals, universities, festivals and tourism businesses mail their communities.
