This isn't a traditional delivery zone. East Orleans has exactly one street in the USPS database: Main St. The ZIP relies on a rural carrier route rather than standard city delivery, reflecting the scattered geography along Cape Cod's outer reaches. The limited infrastructure doesn't mean isolation, though. East Orleans sits within the larger 02653 ZIP code area, which provides additional delivery options for the surrounding community. The multipoint geometry in the spatial data suggests multiple discrete delivery locations rather than a contiguous neighborhood.
The Census Bureau counted just 13 people living here year-round in 2020, with a median age of 34.5 years. These aren't retirees but likely year-round workers or families maintaining a permanent presence in a largely seasonal landscape. The small permanent population contrasts sharply with the 47 businesses operating from this ZIP code, which together employ approximately 55 people. That business density serves the seasonal influx rather than the tiny year-round community. The post office becomes an anchor point for both seasonal residents picking up mail and local businesses needing reliable service through Cape Cod's dramatic population swings.
With only Main St appearing in delivery records, East Orleans operates as a rural PO Box zone rather than a traditional street-addressed neighborhood. The minimal street infrastructure reflects its role as a seasonal enclave where PO Boxes handle nearly all mail service.
ZIP Code 02643 has 13 residents and 10 households (average 1.30 persons per household). The median age is 34.5 years, younger than the state (39.9) and younger than the nation (38.8).

Largest groups are White (46.2%, much lower than the state average of 69.6% and well below the national average of 61.6%) and Asian (15.4%, much higher than the state average of 7.2% and well above the national average of 6.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 7.7%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
