And this is a significant difference to how mail is delivered in most of Europe, where the vast majority of last-mile delivery is done on foot or on bike, and relatively little is done by vehicle. Density undoubtedly plays a fair role here.

Not just density. Many neighborhoods aren't (safely) accessible without a car in the US.

They may only be connected to a highway, with no bus service to it.
