  • 70% of the 196 housing units are used seasonally. Only 43 homes are occupied full-time.

A Seasonal Community

Hyannis Port isn't a town. It's a tiny peninsula of summer estates on Cape Cod, famous as the Kennedy family's longtime retreat. Only 136 people live here year-round, yet 70% of the 196 homes sit empty most of the year. This is old money and vacation property at its most concentrated.

Why Everyone Needs a PO Box

The post office maintains 415 PO Boxes for just 43 year-round households. That 9.65x adoption rate tells the story: wealthy seasonal residents keep boxes year-round even when they're at their primary homes elsewhere. Every occupied home is owner-occupied. Zero renters. The median age is 63.3 years, and 87.2% of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher.

Mail Logistics in Hyannis Port

Hyannis Port exists as a point within ZIP code 02601 (Hyannis), which handles its carrier delivery. The Hyannis Port post office itself is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no street delivery from this ZIP. Mail addressed to street addresses gets routed through the enclosing Hyannis ZIP.

The Hyannis Port Character

The demographics paint a clear picture: 1 child under age 18, no renters, and per capita income of $82,214. Longwood Avenue is the only named street in the ZIP+4 data, with 45 delivery records using unit designators. This isn't a community in the traditional sense. It's a cluster of private estates where the post office provides an address for people who spend summers on Cape Cod.
