ZIP code 11695 serves Fort Tilden, a former U.S. Army installation on the western end of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York. This PO Box-only ZIP handles mail for what's now part of Gateway National Recreation Area, where the historic military base has been converted to parkland and limited federal facilities.
The ZIP contains no residential population and no street delivery routes. Mail service operates exclusively through PO Boxes at the Far Rockaway post office, which also serves the surrounding residential areas under different ZIP codes. The single ZIP+4 record in the database is a PO Box entry, confirming this facility exists solely for institutional mail.
Fort Tilden's location on the barrier beach peninsula makes it part of the broader Far Rockaway community, though the fort itself occupies federally owned land separate from the residential neighborhoods. The installation historically provided coastal defense for New York Harbor. Today the site includes National Park Service facilities, beach access points, and remnant military structures that attract visitors but house no permanent residents.
The absence of census data reflects the ZIP's non-residential status. There are no households to count, no occupied housing units, and no traditional community infrastructure. This is mail infrastructure for a federal property, not a living community. The nearby residential neighborhoods of Far Rockaway and Bayswater, less than a mile away, operate under their own ZIP codes with full street delivery service.
No street delivery exists in this ZIP code. The single postal record is a PO Box entry for the federal facility.
ZIP Code 11695 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
