Anybody care to hazard a guess why White River Junction, VT has ten prefixes and Cleveland, OH has two?
I trust I'm not going to get a [[citation needed]] when I make the claim that Cleveland is somewhat bigger by any conceivable measure.

WRJ (population between 2,000-3,000) is not only smaller than Cleveland, it is not actually a town. WRJ is a village of the town of Hartford, VT and probably would not be known at all without the railroad station.
Found it: WRJ mail sorting plant is a "sectional center facility" for a lot of NH and VT.
A destination sectional center facility (SCF) is a processing and distribution center (P&DC) of the United States Postal Service (USPS) that serves a designated geographical area defined by one or more three-digit ZIP Code prefixes. A sectional center facility routes mail between local post offices and to and from network distribution centers (NDCs) and Surface Transfer Centers (STCs), which form the backbone of the network.
If you're in WRJ, hello neighbor! And if you're not, but are nearby, happy mud season :-)
