Elmhurst operates as a small postal hub in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, serving a scattered rural population through a single rural carrier route. The post office maintains five PO Boxes while providing street delivery to Front Street, the community's only named thoroughfare. This isn't a densely settled town but rather a crossroads designation where rural route service extends beyond the immediate vicinity.
The ZIP code's spatial footprint registers as a single multipoint geometry with no measurable land area in the boundary file. That doesn't mean Elmhurst lacks physical presence. It means the five residential delivery points cluster tightly enough that USPS assigns them PO Boxes while the rural carrier handles a broader service territory. The enclosing ZIP 18444 provides the larger geographic context for this pocket of rural delivery.
Front Street is the only street with carrier delivery, reflecting Elmhurst's character as a minimal postal designation rather than a developed town center.
ZIP Code 18416 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
