Nantucket Island operates 02584 as a dedicated PO Box ZIP code serving the island's main post office on Pleasant Street. With 1,339 PO Boxes and only 13 occupied homes in this specific ZCTA, the adoption rate reaches 103x. That's not a typo. This post office serves the entire island's vacation community, not just the tiny sliver of geography assigned to 02584.
Seasonal vacancy tells the story. Of 57 housing units, 42 (74%) sit empty except for summer months. All 13 occupied homes are owner-occupied with zero renters. These aren't year-round residents in any conventional sense. The median age of 22.3 years suggests seasonal workers staffing the island's hospitality industry during peak season.
Every structure here predates 1939. The post office building at Pleasant Street handles mail for one of America's most exclusive vacation destinations. Island property owners maintain PO Boxes year-round even when their homes sit vacant for nine months. Vacation renters need temporary mail access. And Nantucket's historic streetscapes never developed standard addressing infrastructure.
The ZIP sits as a point location enclosed within 02554, the main Nantucket ZIP code. This arrangement concentrates all PO Box services at a central island location while the surrounding ZIP handles what limited street delivery exists. For visitors and seasonal residents alike, the Pleasant Street post office is where mail happens on Nantucket.
All delivery records concentrate on Pleasant Street, where the post office is located.
