Cummaquid sits on the north side of Cape Cod in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. This small village of 267 residents isn't a separate town but a distinct postal community within the Town of Barnstable. The median age of 56.4 years and median household income of $218,165 tell the story of an affluent, mature community where most residents own their homes.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery available anywhere in the area. The Cummaquid post office maintains 245 PO Boxes for a local population of just 135 households. That's 1.8 boxes per household, which means the post office serves people well beyond the immediate village. Seasonal homeowners, nearby residents, and businesses all rely on these boxes.
Nearly 27% of the 191 housing units sit vacant for seasonal use (52 homes). This seasonal pattern is typical for Cape Cod communities, where summer populations swell dramatically. The median home value of $860,700 puts Cummaquid among Massachusetts' more expensive residential areas. With 60% of adults holding bachelor's degrees or higher, it's also one of the better-educated small communities.
Despite the PO Box classification, the postal data shows limited street delivery records. Main Street has 28 ZIP+4 records with multi-unit designators, Country Club Drive and Keveney Lane have minimal records, and there's mixed Urban+Rural carrier route coding. This suggests some delivery infrastructure exists, but the dominant mail access method remains PO Boxes at the post office.
Just three streets with minimal records, centered on Main Street.
