Conyngham is a small Pennsylvania borough where the post office serves as the sole mail delivery option across its service area. With 1,331 residents living in 605 households, this Luzerne County community maintains 611 PO Boxes. The post office doesn't just serve local residents. It functions as a regional mail hub for the surrounding area, which explains why the number of PO Boxes matches the number of households almost exactly.
This is designated as a PO Box Only Zone by USPS, meaning no alternative mail delivery exists. While the ZIP includes some street delivery routes along Main Street and Sugarloaf Avenue, the community's historical development pattern makes PO Box service the primary option. Main Street accounts for 105 of the 106 street delivery records, with units designated along this central corridor.
Conyngham's housing stock tells the story of a long-established community. Of the 630 total homes, 579 were built before 1939. That's 92% of all housing. The median home value stands at $219,100, and 82% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (496 of 605 households). The median age of 48.4 years indicates an established, middle-aged population rather than a retirement or college community.
The local economy shows a mix of employment patterns. Transportation, warehousing, and utilities employ 485 workers, making it the dominant sector. Educational services and healthcare employ 202 workers, while 92 work in public administration. Median household income reaches $67,941, with per capita income at $48,074. Notably, 18% of workers work from home (11 of 61 counted), higher than many small Pennsylvania towns.
Conyngham's ZIP code was established before October 2004, and the borough sits at coordinates 40.99° N, 76.06° W. The area is classified as a point location geographically, enclosed within the larger polygon of ZIP code 18249. Despite having 41 business establishments employing 211 people, the community retains its small-town character with limited commercial development beyond Main Street.
The street network is extremely limited, with Main Street accounting for virtually all delivery points and serving as the community's central spine.
ZIP Code 18219 has 1,331 residents and 605 households (average 2.20 persons per household). The median age is 48.4 years, significantly older than the state (41.0) and significantly older than the nation (38.8).
