Key Facts
  • The 2020 Census recorded 16 residents in ZIP 24469, one of Virginia's smallest populations.
  • Of the 9 housing units in the area, 5 are seasonal or vacant (56%), indicating significant part-time occupancy.
  • The post office maintains 64 PO boxes, serving property owners who may not be present year-round.
  • Battlefield Road is the only street with USPS delivery records, suggesting a very small geographic footprint.
  • The median age of 20.8 years is unusually young for a rural Virginia community.
  • This is a PO Box-only ZIP, meaning no street delivery or rural carrier routes are available.

The Post Office's Role

The post office maintains 64 PO boxes for an area with effectively no permanent occupied housing units recorded in the census. This isn't unusual for rural Virginia locations where property owners keep boxes year-round even if they don't live there full-time. The only street with USPS records is Battlefield Road, a name that hints at the region's Civil War history in the Shenandoah Valley.

PO Box Service

This PO Box ZIP doesn't serve a traditional town center. Instead, it provides mail service for scattered properties in the surrounding countryside. The ZIP's classification as a PO Box-only zone means there's no carrier route delivery available. Property owners here use PO boxes by necessity, not choice. For a seasonal community where many residents aren't present daily, that arrangement works reasonably well.

Street Name Patterns

Historic Names
