Oquossoc sits at the heart of Maine's Rangeley Lakes Region, where seasonal residents vastly outnumber the year-round population. With 711 of 895 housing units classified as seasonal (79%), this ZIP transforms each summer as vacationers return to lakeside cottages and camps scattered across 360 square miles of mountains, forests, and water.
The Oquossoc post office maintains 389 PO Boxes for just 152 occupied households. This 2.56 adoption rate shows the post office serves far beyond the small year-round community. Seasonal homeowners maintain boxes year-round, visitors need temporary mail access, and residents of remote camps and islands throughout the territory depend on the post office as their only mail option. This is a PO Box Only Zone, and there's no alternative delivery across this vast lakeside territory.
The 265 year-round residents have a median age of 63.4, making this one of Maine's older communities. Most own their homes (138 owner-occupied, just 14 rentals), and 83% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. Median household income sits at $69,432, with home values at $326,900. These aren't struggling locals forced into PO Boxes. They're educated retirees and second-home owners who choose this remote lifestyle.
Street names tell the story of this lakeside territory. Bald Mountain Rd, Birches Beach Rd, Pleasant Island Rd, and Kennebago River Rd reference the natural features that draw people here. Ski Way Rd hints at winter recreation. With 33.4 square miles of water area within the ZIP, many properties sit on islands or shorelines accessible only by boat in summer, snowmobile in winter.
The ZIP includes one rural carrier route and one highway contract route serving a handful of accessible properties, but the vast majority of the 390 residential delivery points are PO Boxes. General Delivery is available for those without established boxes. The post office serves as a community gathering point, especially for seasonal residents checking in after long absences.
Most addresses use PO Box format:
