Albany, Georgia, located in Dougherty County, has a population of approximately 90,520 residents. The city's infrastructure plays a critical role in the efficiency of USPS deliveries. With a mix of urban and suburban areas, Albany is organized with a grid layout that facilitates the movement of vehicles. The regional road network includes major highways such as US Route 19 and US Route 82, which connect Albany to surrounding areas and enhance the delivery footprint for USPS. Albany's density, combined with its population size, means that while deliveries within the city can be efficient, rural deliveries may take longer due to greater distances and less frequent routes.

The geography of Albany, characterized by its low-lying terrain and proximity to the Flint River, can sometimes pose logistical challenges, especially during periods of heavy rainfall or flooding which may affect delivery times. Additionally, Albany experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Seasonal weather patterns, particularly during hurricane season from June to November, can lead to delays in shipment as carriers may adjust schedules for safety. Historically, Albany has had a rich cultural background, being established in the 19th century, and this historic context remains significant in navigating local areas for timely deliveries. Overall, while USPS provides a reliable service in Albany, these factors collectively influence the efficiency and timing of shipments across the region.
