A recent survey found that 20% of Americans live in apartment buildings that house more than 2 families.

The USPS delivers about 493.4 million pieces of mail every day.

Of course, with all that mail going to apartments communities, USPS needed to lay out regulations for block-style apartment mailboxes as well.

These regulations are often referred to as 4C standards because the most common type of mailbox block installed in apartment communities are the 4C mailboxes.
