Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 169 PO Boxes for just 59 local households, an adoption rate of 2.86 that indicates significant regional service.
  • This is a true PO Box only zone where customers have no alternative delivery methods available.
  • The ZIP covers only 0.028 square miles of land area, making it essentially a point location rather than a distributed zone.
  • Two rural carrier routes serve the broader area, with 10 street-level ZIP+4 records across four named streets.
  • All 59 occupied housing units are owner-occupied, with no rental properties reported in census data.
  • The community has 17 businesses operating from the ZIP, with 169 total PO Box addresses including residential and commercial.

Rural Service Model

The ZIP serves as a hub for surrounding rural areas. With only 111 residents within its boundaries, the post office draws customers from communities that lack carrier delivery. Two rural routes (Route C and Route R) extend outward, covering terrain where street delivery isn't viable. The post office becomes the collection point for mail that can't reach remote addresses.

Geographic Footprint

The ZIP's geography reflects its service model. At just 0.028 square miles of land area, it's essentially a point location rather than a sprawling zone. This tiny footprint contains four streets: Pen Mar Road Extension, Broad Street, Gates Lane, and Pen Mar Road itself. The Extension handles most delivery points with four ZIP+4 records.

Community Profile

Demographics show a small, aging population. The median age is 33.5 years, with 93 residents identifying as white, one as Black, and two as Asian. Fourteen residents identify as two or more races. All 59 occupied housing units are owner-occupied according to census data, though 27 are classified as "other" housing types beyond standard single-family structures. Four units stand vacant.

Delivery Infrastructure

The rural route structure explains the PO Box concentration. Without city carrier routes and only limited rural coverage, many addresses in the broader service area don't receive street delivery. Residents make the trip to Rouzerville to collect mail, creating demand that far exceeds the local population. That's standard for Pennsylvania's rural border communities, where post offices serve as mail hubs for areas measured in dozens of square miles.

Street Name Patterns

Rural Roads Geographic Names

Pen Mar references the nearby Pennsylvania-Maryland state line, a historic area known for the Pen Mar amusement park that operated from 1877 to 1943. The street names reflect the community's position as a border settlement, with simple designations that serve a small residential cluster rather than an extensive urban grid.
