The delivery infrastructure here is minimal but functional. USPS operates one carrier route classified as city delivery, though all 57 residential addresses use PO Boxes rather than street addresses. This pattern is common in small Delaware communities where the post office predates modern street delivery systems. The surrounding area receives mail through Dover-based carrier routes, but Little Creek's 19961 designation has remained a distinct PO Box facility.
Main Street is the only street with delivery points in this ZIP code. The minimal street infrastructure reflects a community that relies entirely on its post office for mail service rather than developing an extensive carrier route network.
ZIP Code 19961 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
