Mountainville is a tiny rural community in Orange County, New York, less than a square mile in size. Just 57 people live here across 10 households. But the Mountainville post office maintains 150 PO Boxes, serving 15 times more boxes than local homes. This isn't a border hub. It's a regional service point for surrounding rural areas in the Hudson Valley.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the service area. The post office handles limited rural carrier delivery (2 rural routes serving 27 addresses) but most mail recipients rely on PO Boxes. People from the surrounding countryside drive to Mountainville to collect their mail.
The 20 business establishments employ 346 workers, far exceeding the residential population of 57. This creates unusual ratios: nearly 6 employees per business, and employment that dwarfs the number of residents. Mountainville functions as a small employment center, likely with businesses serving the broader region rather than just local residents.
Street names like Taylor Road, Pleasant Hill Road, and Rustic Ridge suggest rural character. With a median age of 30.5 years and a mix of renters (8 households) and owners (2 households), this is a working-age community. The small ZCTA boundary captures just the immediate vicinity of the post office, not the full mail service area.
Mail sent to Mountainville, NY 10953 should use PO Box addresses when available. Limited rural route delivery exists for some addresses along Taylor Road and other rural roads, but PO Boxes are the primary mail access method for this area.
Street names like Pleasant Hill Road, Rustic Ridge, and Creekside Lane reflect the rural, countryside character of the area.
