Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 147 PO Boxes for just 52 local households, an adoption rate of 2.83 that indicates significant regional service.
  • Harmony covers only 0.45 square miles, making it one of Rhode Island's most compact rural ZIP codes.
  • Two rural carrier routes serve the area, handling limited street delivery while PO Boxes remain the primary service.
  • The median age of 50.8 years reflects an established residential population in this small northwestern Rhode Island community.
  • Glocester is listed as an acceptable mailing name, reflecting the ZIP's service to surrounding unincorporated areas.
  • Only 3 streets have mail delivery records: Putnam Pike, Phillips Lane, and Valley Road.

Geographic Context

The ZIP covers only 0.45 square miles of mostly rural land in Providence County's northwestern corner. Despite the compact geography, two rural carrier routes serve the area. These routes handle the handful of street addresses along Putnam Pike, Phillips Lane, and Valley Road. But the 147 PO Boxes tell the real story. The post office serves as a collection point for people across a much wider area who lack carrier delivery at home.

Community Profile

Harmony's 122 residents live in one of Rhode Island's smallest communities. The median age of 50.8 years indicates an established population. There's no city delivery here. Rural carriers handle what little street delivery exists, while most mail collection happens at the post office counter. The few buildings include the post office itself and scattered residences along the three named roads.

Regional Service Function

The high adoption rate reveals this ZIP's function as a rural service hub. When PO Boxes outnumber households by nearly 3 to 1, you're looking at regional service. People from Glocester and other nearby areas without street delivery maintain boxes here. It's the practical solution when home delivery isn't available. The post office anchors mail service for a geographic area much larger than the ZIP boundary suggests.

Street Name Patterns

Rural Roads Minimal Street Network

The three named streets reflect a minimal rural road network. Putnam Pike likely serves as the main route through the area, while Phillips Lane and Valley Road represent side roads. The single record count for each street indicates very limited street delivery infrastructure.
