Key Facts
  • This ZIP code covers just 0.014 square miles, making it one of the smallest geographic ZIPs in the Niagara Falls area.
  • The post office maintains 485 PO Boxes while serving a resident population of only 105 people, indicating significant regional service function.
  • With 97 of 105 residents living in institutionalized group quarters, this is a facility-focused ZIP rather than a traditional neighborhood.
  • The median age of 86.6 years suggests this may serve a senior care facility or retirement community.
  • Business activity is notably high with 14 establishments employing 1,684 workers, despite minimal residential population.
  • Only one street (Main Street) has carrier delivery in this ZIP, with 146 delivery points that include unit designations.

The Institutional Character

The 97 residents living in institutionalized group quarters make up 92% of the area's total population. That's an unusually high concentration suggesting this ZIP serves a specific facility like a university residence hall, nursing home, or similar institutional setting. The median age of 86.6 years provides a critical clue about the nature of this population.

How Mail Service Works Here

Postal service here operates on a building-focused model rather than street delivery to individual homes. The post office maintains 485 PO Boxes for this ZIP code, though the immediate area houses only 105 residents and supports 132 businesses. That's a PO Box adoption rate of 97.0, meaning the facility serves far beyond its immediate physical footprint. People and businesses from surrounding areas of Niagara Falls rely on this location for mail service.

The Delivery Infrastructure

The delivery infrastructure reflects this concentrated service model. Main Street has 146 ZIP+4 records with unit designations, indicating multiple delivery points within what appears to be one or more large buildings. There are 14 business establishments here employing 1,684 people. The combination of high employment, minimal residential housing, and extreme institutional population concentration defines this as a specialized service ZIP rather than a traditional community.

Street Name Patterns

Single Street Focus Unit Based Delivery Downtown Institutional

The single-street delivery pattern on Main Street with extensive unit designations confirms this is a large building or complex rather than a distributed neighborhood. The 146 delivery records concentrated on one street address indicate a multi-floor facility with internal routing.
