The Steamburg post office serves 352 residents spread across 6.2 square miles of the Allegany Territory in Cattaraugus County. This is Seneca Nation land, where 58% of residents are Native American. The post office maintains 160 PO Boxes for 164 households, making it the primary mail delivery option for nearly everyone in the community.
There's no city carrier delivery here. Instead, two rural routes cover the territory, serving addresses along Loop Road, Perimeter Road, and Center Road. These roads follow the natural contours of the land rather than a grid pattern. With 30 delivery points spread across rural routes and another 20 designated for PO Box delivery, the system reflects the realities of serving a community where homes aren't clustered along commercial corridors.
The 160 PO Boxes aren't just a convenience. They're the backbone of reliable mail service for families living on roads that wind through territory where population density averages just 57 people per square mile. Extended families are common here, with an average of 2.1 people per household. For many, the post office box provides consistent access to mail, bills, and packages year-round, regardless of weather or road conditions.
The community's isolation shows in other ways too. There are just 12 businesses serving the area, and median household income sits at $39,881. About 27% of adults work in farming, forestry, fishing, and related occupations. The territory covers land and water totaling over 20 square miles when you include the 5.8 square miles of water area, but the residential zone itself is compact, centered around the roads that loop through Seneca land.
Street names here follow functional patterns rather than commemorating historical figures. Loop Road circles through the territory in sections (North, South), while Perimeter Road marks the edges. Center and Central roads lead to the community's core. This naming system reflects practical navigation needs in territory where roads follow natural features rather than rigid grids.
ZIP Code 14783 has 352 residents and 164 households (average 2.15 persons per household). The median age is 45.2 years, older than the state (39.0) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 52.8% male and 47.2% female, which is higher than the state male share (48.4%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (58.2%, much higher than the state average of 0.7% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and White (33.2%, much lower than the state average of 55.2% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 2.6%, which is much lower than the state average (19.5%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (0.7%) and national averages (1.1%).
