The ZIP code covers just 0.030 square miles of land, making it one of Connecticut's smallest postal zones by area. Despite its compact footprint, the facility handles mail for both urban and rural carrier routes. One city route serves the village center, while one rural route extends beyond the immediate area. This mixed delivery approach reflects the facility's role as a bridge between Somersville proper and outlying areas without carrier delivery.
Only 91 people live within ZIP 06072's boundaries, but the post office's workload suggests a much broader service area. The combination of high PO Box adoption and minimal residential density means most box holders travel from elsewhere to collect their mail. Street delivery exists on three roads—Main Street (20 delivery points), School Street (5 points), and Maple Street (4 points)—but these addresses represent just a fraction of the facility's total service.
The median age is 46.5 years, and the population includes 6 children under 18. Of the 51 housing units in the ZIP code, 43 are occupied year-round. The community doesn't show the seasonal vacancy patterns of resort areas or the group quarters housing typical of institutional locations. Instead, it functions as a stable rural service point where PO Boxes handle most of the postal workload for a multi-ZIP service area.
The three-street network follows classic New England village naming: Main Street as the commercial spine, School Street marking the educational center, and Maple Street providing residential addresses. The concentration of delivery points on Main Street (20 of 29 total street records) confirms its role as the community core. Both Main and School streets include apartment buildings, unusual for such a small postal zone and suggesting historic density in the village center.
ZIP Code 06072 has 91 residents and 43 households (average 2.12 persons per household). The median age is 46.5 years, older than the state (41.1) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 48.4% male and 51.6% female, which is about the same as the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (97.8%, much higher than the state average of 66.4% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (11.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 11.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
