The numbers tell the story clearly. Of the 684 residents counted here, 661 live in group quarters like dormitories. That's 97% of the population. The median age is just 20.5 years. Eight occupied households exist alongside a student body that defines the entire community. The post office maintains 142 PO Boxes while only 11 businesses operate in the area.
Mail delivery here follows an institutional pattern rather than a residential one. The college campus receives mail through building-based delivery, with the Postmaster building serving as the central distribution point. Two streets appear in the postal system: Oxford Ave (with 2 delivery records) and Garnand Dr (with 1 record). These limited street routes reflect the compact nature of the campus rather than a traditional community layout.
The 17.75% PO Box adoption rate seems modest at first glance, but it represents something different than typical residential service. With 142 boxes serving a population of 684, the post office functions as a regional resource for surrounding Washington County residents who need PO Box service. The college itself doesn't drive the box count. Families and businesses from nearby areas without dedicated post offices do. This creates a dual-purpose facility: it handles campus mail while serving as a PO Box hub for the broader region.
The economic data reflects student life rather than a working community. Most income and employment figures show as unavailable or non-applicable in census records. The 243 workers commuting to this location likely represent faculty and staff traveling to campus. With minimal traditional housing stock and no owner-occupied homes recorded, this ZIP code exists almost entirely to serve the educational institution and provide postal services to surrounding communities.
The extremely limited street network reveals the compact, institutional nature of this campus ZIP code. With only two named streets and three total delivery records, mail routing focuses on building-based delivery rather than residential street patterns.
