ZIP code 06258 serves Pomfret, Connecticut, but this isn't a typical town address. Of the 334 residents recorded here, 324 live in non-institutionalized group quarters. That's 97% of the population. The median age of 20.7 years tells the story: this is a college campus.
The post office on Pomfret Street handles mail for a concentrated campus community. With 109 PO Boxes serving 334 people, the delivery system reflects institutional housing patterns rather than traditional household structures. The ZIP includes just seven street delivery records, primarily along Pomfret Street itself. Other streets like Fiber Road, Cable Road, and Vision Road suggest modern campus infrastructure with technology-oriented naming.
The census data shows what isn't here: zero occupied traditional housing units. There are no owner-occupied homes, no renter-occupied apartments in the conventional sense. The population lives in dormitories, residence halls, and campus housing. This creates a unique postal profile where PO Boxes serve students who rotate through the campus on academic calendars rather than permanent residents.
Mail delivery here centers on the institution's needs. The single named building in postal records is simply labeled "POSTMASTER," indicating the central sorting point. Street delivery exists but serves a limited area—just one city carrier route covers the entire ZIP. Most students collect mail from their assigned boxes at the campus post office, a system that works efficiently for a transient population that arrives in August and departs in May.
The surrounding area reflects rural Connecticut character. The ZIP covers only 0.044 square miles of land, making it one of the state's smallest by area. The 17 business establishments and 764 employees suggest the college dominates local economic activity. Streets like Putnam Road connect to the broader Northeastern Connecticut region, but the postal ZIP functions primarily as a self-contained institutional address.
The limited street network reflects a compact campus setting. Technology-themed names like Fiber Road, Cable Road, and Vision Road suggest modern infrastructure development. Pomfret Street connects to the historic town, while Putnam Road links to the broader regional road network. The sparse delivery records indicate most mail flows through the central post office rather than street-side delivery.
ZIP Code 06258 has 334 residents and 0 households. The median age is 20.7 years, significantly younger than the state (41.1) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8).
