Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 121 PO Boxes for a community of just 22 occupied households, creating an adoption rate of 5.5.
  • This high adoption rate means the facility serves more than five times as many boxes as local homes, indicating significant regional service to surrounding areas.
  • Only five streets receive mail delivery in this ZIP code: New Vernon Road, Dudley Lane, Birch Street, Paglia Drive, and Wyoming Lane.
  • The population of 47 people lives in 22 households, averaging 2.1 persons per household.
  • The median age is 23.9 years, considerably younger than typical rural New York communities.
  • Five rural carrier routes and one general delivery route handle all street delivery in this tiny coverage area.

Regional Service Beyond Local Boundaries

This disparity doesn't reflect a large community squeezed into limited space. The ZIP code's 47 residents live across a tiny area, with essentially no traditional street delivery infrastructure. Five rural carrier routes handle what limited delivery exists, supplemented by a single general delivery route. The Howells post office functions as a regional hub, collecting mail for customers who travel from surrounding areas without convenient carrier service.

Limited Street Network

The streets tell the story of a sparse settlement pattern. New Vernon Road, Dudley Lane, Birch Street, Paglia Drive, and Wyoming Lane comprise the entire delivery network. None of these streets show secondary addressing units like apartment numbers. Each ZIP+4 record represents a single structure, not a building divided into multiple residences. This reinforces the rural character where homes sit separated by distance rather than clustered in developments.

Demographics and Community Profile

Census data confirms what the postal records suggest: this isn't a typical suburban bedroom community. The median age reaches 23.9 years, considerably younger than Orange County's broader demographic profile. With 47 people distributed across 22 households, the ratio runs slightly above 2.1 persons per household. That's normal for families but doesn't explain the massive PO Box overage. The explanation lies in those 121 boxes serving people who don't live in the 10932 zone itself.

Understanding the PO Box Concentration

The classification as a PO Box ZIP doesn't mean residents can't get mail delivered to their homes. It means the ZIP code facility only contains PO Box records in USPS databases. People living on the five named streets likely receive delivery via neighboring ZIP codes with broader carrier route networks. But for customers spread across rural Orange County who want a central pickup location, the Howells post office fills that need. The 19 businesses counted in spatial analysis probably explain some boxes, though that still leaves over 100 boxes for non-commercial use.

Street Name Patterns

Rural Roads Single Family Only

The five named streets show perfectly even distribution with exactly one ZIP+4 record each, indicating minimal development. None carry directional prefixes or feature secondary addressing, confirming the rural, single-family character. New Vernon Road stands as the only major throughway designation, while the four lanes suggest quiet residential access roads serving isolated homes.
