Mail delivery here operates on an institutional model that doesn't resemble typical neighborhood service. The post office maintains six PO Boxes, exactly matching the number of occupied housing units. Street delivery exists minimally along Courthouse Road, where the ZIP maintains two rural carrier route assignments and one general delivery route. But most mail processing happens through building-based delivery systems internal to the facility itself.
The physical landscape is compact and controlled. The single named building on record is simply listed as "Postmaster," and Courthouse Road handles what limited street addressing exists. The median age of 43 reflects an adult population, consistent with correctional demographics rather than families or retirees. This isn't a place where people choose to establish permanent residency or receive Amazon packages at home.
Sussex ZIP 23884 exists within the larger footprint of ZIP 23890, which provides the actual geographic context for the area. The distinction matters for understanding mail routing: this isn't an isolated community but rather a specialized facility that requires its own postal infrastructure separate from surrounding residential zones. The adoption rate of 1.0 for PO Boxes simply means the boxes match local housing exactly—there's no regional hub function here, just purpose-built institutional mail service.
Only one street name appears in delivery records—Courthouse Road—reflecting the facility-focused nature of this ZIP code rather than a traditional street grid.
ZIP Code 23884 has 50 residents and 6 households (average 1.33 persons per household). The median age is 43.0 years, older than the state (38.7) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 68.0% male and 32.0% female, which is much higher than the state male share (48.9%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are Black or African American (60.0%, much higher than the state average of 18.6% and well above the national average of 12.4%) and White (32.0%, much lower than the state average of 60.3% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and Black or African American share is much higher than both the state (18.6%) and national averages (12.4%).
