The post office maintains 390 PO Boxes for a population of just 340 people. That's an adoption rate of 2.07, which means this office serves well beyond Melvin Village itself. Residents from surrounding areas along the lake use this post office as their mailing address. The ZIP classification shows no city carrier routes, only rural delivery along roads like Governor Wentworth Highway and Senter Cove Road. Mail reaches homes through six rural routes and two highway contract routes, covering the scattered waterfront properties that define this area.
Street names here reflect the lakeside geography and New Hampshire's colonial history.
