Richmond is the capital of Virginia, about 230,000 people in the city, with ZIP codes 232 covering the city and 230 and 231 the surrounding counties, at the center of a metro of 1.3 million that includes Henrico County (the West End, Short Pump, Glen Allen), Chesterfield County (Midlothian, Bon Air, Chester) and Hanover County (Mechanicsville, Ashland). The city's housing is rowhouses and single-family homes on dense residential routes in the Fan, the Museum District, Church Hill and the Near West End; the counties are single-family subdivisions on large routes, with Short Pump and Midlothian as the affluent growth corridors.
Richmond mails through its financial services, insurance and tobacco headquarters, which mail consumers nationally from here; through real estate teams farming the Fan, the West End and Midlothian; through home services companies serving a housing stock from the 1890s to last year; and through the restaurants, dental practices, private schools, churches and nonprofits that mail the region. State government and the universities add their own mail programs.
