Rancocas is a small hamlet in Burlington County, New Jersey, covering just 0.09 square miles along the Rancocas Creek. The 153 residents live in one of the state's most unusual postal configurations. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery across the territory it serves.
The Rancocas post office maintains 187 PO Boxes to serve just 56 local households. That's a 3.34-to-1 ratio. People from surrounding areas without carrier delivery travel here to collect mail, creating a regional service hub far exceeding the hamlet's tiny footprint. The post office operates both city carrier routes (covering 35 delivery points) and rural routes (21 points), an unusual Urban+Rural mix for such a compact area.
Rancocas sits near the Philadelphia metro area but maintains its distinct rural character. The street grid is minimal: Main Street dominates with 40 delivery records, while Bridge Street, Second Street, and Olive Street handle just a handful each. Nearly all housing (55 of 56 units) is owner-occupied. The median age of 45.9 years suggests an established, stable population.
The hamlet serves 80 business delivery points and employs 442 people across 15 establishments, far exceeding what you'd expect from a population of 153. This speaks to Rancocas's role as a service point for the broader region. The post office isn't just sorting mail for locals. It's the critical link for businesses and residents across a wider territory where street delivery doesn't exist.
Minimal street grid centered on Main Street, typical of a small historic hamlet.
