Lincolndale serves as a regional mail hub for northern Westchester County, New York, maintaining 191 PO Boxes for just 2 households within its boundaries. This extreme 95.5x adoption rate means the post office serves a much wider area than the tiny ZCTA footprint suggests. Businesses and residents from surrounding communities rely on Lincolndale postal services even though they live elsewhere.
The ZIP covers minimal geographic territory. It's classified as a MultiPoint location (no defined boundary polygon) and sits within the larger ZIP 10589. Despite the compact footprint, the post office supports 18 business establishments employing 436 people. This is a commercial and service hub, not a residential community.
Lincolndale is designated as a PO Box Only Zone. There's no carrier delivery infrastructure throughout the service area. The 40 ZIP+4 records on Route 202 include secondary UNIT designators, likely indicating business suites or PBSA (PO Box Street Addressing) rather than traditional carrier delivery. Most mail recipients use the 191 PO Boxes.
Census data shows 19 residents, all in institutionalized group quarters. With a median age of 19.5 years and zero children or elderly residents, this suggests a small correctional or treatment facility. The institutional population is separate from the broader service area the post office serves. Per capita income of $2,096 reflects the institutional context rather than typical household economics.
The post office serves residents and businesses from the northern Westchester area, with nearby municipalities including Pleasantville (12 miles), West Harrison (11 miles), and communities extending into Connecticut. Route 202 forms the main corridor through the service area.
Route 202 dominates the address records with 40 ZIP+4 entries including UNIT secondary designators, suggesting business or PBSA addressing rather than residential carrier delivery.
