A very specific question!

Here are the delivery numbers for unaddressed mail in Australia, by postcode:
Urban areas:
- 1-5% of unaddressed mail is delivered to the correct address
- 20-30% is returned to the sender as undeliverable
- 50-60% is delivered to a nearby address or a community mailbox
- 20-30% is lost or destroyed
Rural areas:
- 5-10% of unaddressed mail is delivered to the correct address
- 30-40% is returned to the sender as undeliverable
