Occoquan is a compact historic riverfront town in Prince William County, Virginia, spanning just 0.19 square miles along the Occoquan River. With 917 residents and 443 households, this is one of Virginia's smallest incorporated towns. Its historic character is evident in the housing stock: 450 of the town's 471 housing units were built before 1939, making it one of the best-preserved 18th and 19th-century communities in the Washington, DC metro area.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Despite the town's small footprint and historic street grid (Mill Street, Commerce Street, Washington Street, Union Street), there's no carrier delivery to street addresses. The post office maintains 493 PO Boxes for 443 households, an adoption rate of 111%. That extra 11% serves the town's 61 business establishments and some residents from neighboring Lake Ridge who use Occoquan addresses.
Occoquan's demographics differ sharply from typical small towns. Median household income reaches $166,250, nearly triple the national median. Nearly 64% of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher. About 36% of workers work from home, suggesting many residents are remote professionals who've chosen this historic riverfront setting for its character and proximity to Washington, DC (about 30 miles northeast). Median age is 44.8 years, indicating an established, middle-aged population.
The town's street layout clusters along Mill Street (66 delivery points, mostly units in converted historic buildings), with smaller residential streets like Poplar Alley, Overlook Drive, and streets named for colonial history. The mix of 2 City carrier routes and 1 Rural route indicates the town serves both its compact core and a few outlying properties. With 147 business delivery points and 61 establishments, Occoquan functions as both a residential enclave and a tourist destination, its historic waterfront drawing visitors to antique shops and restaurants housed in 200-year-old buildings.
