Linwood is a small village within the town of Uxbridge in Worcester County, Massachusetts. This ZIP code serves a compact 0.013 square mile area containing just 73 residents and 30 households. Despite its tiny footprint, the Linwood post office maintains 143 PO Boxes, nearly five times the number of local households (4.77x adoption rate).
This extreme adoption rate means the post office serves far more than just local residents. The surrounding area relies on Linwood for mail access. With 11 business establishments employing 85 workers, this appears to be a small commercial district or industrial village that functions as a regional mail hub for nearby areas without their own delivery infrastructure.
Linwood is officially designated as a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery exists but is limited to just two streets: Linwood Street (49 ZIP+4 records, with multi-unit addressing) and Providence Road (1 record). The delivery pattern combines city carrier routes with two rural routes, serving the immediate village and surrounding countryside.
The population is notably young, with a median age of 24.3 years. All 30 occupied housing units are owner-occupied, with no rental properties. The village sits within the larger community of Uxbridge (ZIP 01569), which encloses this point location. Nearby Worcester neighborhoods like Broadmeadow Brook and South Quinsigamond Village are 10-11 miles away, placing Linwood in the outer suburban/rural fringe of the Worcester metro area.
Mail addressed to Linwood, MA 01525 should use a PO Box number for reliable delivery. Limited street delivery is available on Linwood Street and Providence Road for physical locations in the immediate village.
Street delivery is extremely limited, concentrated almost entirely on Linwood Street with multi-unit addressing.
