While continuing to fall, the overall rate of volume decline for letter mail has slowed substantially in recent years. Business-to-consumer mail like First-Class Mail Presort and Marketing Mail represents a growing portion of total mail volume – over 78 percent in 2015. There is substantial variation at the local, regional, and state levels in how much mail American adults send and receive, and how their use of mail has changed in recent years.
