The ZIP code contains minimal street delivery infrastructure. Only one street appears in the address database: Willow Oak Road, with just two delivery records. One named building exists—the post office itself, designated simply as "POSTMASTER." Highway Contract Route carriers handle what little non-PO Box delivery occurs, reflecting the sparse rural character of the area.
Demographics show a traditional coastal community. The median age is 52.1 years, well above Virginia's state average. The population is 71% white, 16% Black, and 19% Hispanic. Median household income stands at $84,479, while median home value data wasn't available in the most recent survey. About 76 people work, with 37 employed and unusual gaps in the labor force data suggesting seasonal or informal work patterns common in coastal areas.
Housing totals 316 units across 10.6 square miles of land, but only 207 are occupied year-round. That leaves 109 vacant units, with 80 designated as seasonal or recreational properties. That's 25% of all housing—a significant seasonal vacancy rate that points to vacation homes and summer residents who need year-round PO Boxes even when they're not in town.
The institutionalized population is unusually high: 58 people, representing 13% of the total. That's far above typical rates and likely indicates a nursing home or assisted living facility in the area. Combined with the older median age, this suggests Eastville serves as a regional center for elder care in this rural coastal county.
With only a single street in the delivery database, Eastville shows almost no traditional street delivery infrastructure. The lone street, Willow Oak Road, carries a tree name common in Virginia coastal areas. The absence of a street grid confirms this ZIP's role as a PO Box service center rather than a traditional town with carrier routes.
