Thousand Island Park sits on Wellesley Island in the St. Lawrence River, one of New York's most distinctive seasonal communities. With 534 total housing units but only 70 occupied year-round, this ZIP code transforms with the seasons. 84% of homes (450 units) serve as vacation properties, used seasonally or occasionally. Summer population swells dramatically compared to the 95 permanent residents counted by the Census.
Despite its classification as a PO Box ZIP, Thousand Island Park has full rural carrier delivery across 31 streets. St. Lawrence Avenue carries the most delivery points (20 addresses), followed by Central Avenue and Headland Avenue. Street names echo the island setting: Coast Avenue, Island Avenue, Bayshore Avenue, Sunset Avenue, and Sunrise Avenue. This isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Mail reaches homes through a single rural route serving 171 residential delivery points.
The year-round population skews dramatically older and more affluent than typical New York communities. Median age: 67.2 years. That makes this one of the oldest communities in the state. Median household income reaches $161,500, and median home values stand at $291,300. Of the 70 occupied households, 52 are owner-occupied and 18 are rentals. Education levels run high, with 65.1% of adults holding bachelor's degrees or higher.
The community dates back over a century (515 of 534 housing units were built before 1939), preserving its historic character. 97 workers commute out for employment, many to nearby communities. 71 residents work in transportation, warehousing, or utilities, while 49 work in education or healthcare. Federal government employs 23 workers. Just 6 business establishments operate within the ZIP, employing 39 people total.
Mail delivery operates differently here than in mainland communities. The seasonal pattern affects everything from package volume to forwarding requests. Summer brings an influx of seasonal residents retrieving accumulated mail. Winter service continues for the small permanent population. The single rural route adapts to these rhythms, handling both year-round residents and seasonal property owners who maintain the island's identity as one of the Thousand Islands' historic vacation communities.
Street names like Coast Avenue, Bayshore Avenue, Island Avenue, Sunset Avenue, and Sunrise Avenue reflect the waterfront island setting along the St. Lawrence River.
ZIP Code 13692 has 95 residents and 70 households (average 1.36 persons per household).
