ZIP code 14109 serves Niagara University, a private Catholic institution founded by the Vincentian religious order in 1856. Located in Lewiston, New York, just miles from Niagara Falls, the campus occupies less than a tenth of a square mile. All 940 residents live in group quarters, meaning dormitories and residence halls. There are no traditional households here. It's a campus, not a town.
The median age of 19.7 years tells you who lives here: undergraduate students. The Census counted zero residents under 18 and zero over 65. Everyone falls into that narrow college-age band. Per capita income sits at just $5,099, typical for students with limited employment.
Mail delivery works through building-based routes. Vincentian Drive handles 160 ZIP+4 records with unit designators for individual rooms and offices. Sophomore Drive and Lewiston Road account for the remaining addresses. The campus post office maintains 274 PO Boxes. Since this is a PO Box Only Zone, there's no street delivery available to surrounding areas through this ZIP.
With 1,261 employees at just 4 establishments, nearly everyone who works here works for the university itself. Staff and faculty far outnumber residents because they commute in from nearby Niagara Falls neighborhoods like North End and Deveaux.
