Where are Village Post Offices (VPO) typically located?

Village Post Offices (VPO) are designed to provide postal services in communities that may not have access to a full-service post office. They are often established within existing businesses or government centers, allowing these locations to serve dual purposes. This arrangement helps enhance community access to postal services while supporting local businesses. By integrating VPOs into familiar local establishments, the U.S. Postal Service can effectively serve rural and smaller towns without the need for building standalone post offices, thus offering convenience for residents in various locations.

Other options like limiting VPOs to rural areas, post office buildings, or urban settings do not reflect the versatile and community-oriented nature of VPOs, which can be established in a variety of places to meet the needs of local populations.
