Wilkinson, West Virginia (ZIP 25653) sits in Logan County with 228 residents and 93 households. The community maintains 90 PO Boxes at its post office, giving it an adoption rate of 0.97—nearly every household uses one. This doesn't mean street delivery is unavailable elsewhere. Residents can receive mail through neighboring ZIP 25601, which provides carrier routes that cover this area. The PO Box count reflects local preference rather than necessity.
Mail service here follows a mixed pattern. Two city carrier routes and one rural route cover the area, serving Jerry West Highway and Arbor Road. The post office handles both PO Box customers and street delivery for the broader region. With only 1.125 square miles of land and a median age of 45.4 years, this is a small, aging community. The median household income is $14,312, well below state averages. About 78 of the 120 housing units are occupied year-round, with 27 vacant properties scattered through the area.
Jerry West Highway dominates the limited street network, named after the NBA legend and West Virginia native. With just two streets receiving carrier delivery, this reflects a small community with minimal infrastructure. The highway serves as the main corridor, while Arbor Road provides secondary access.
ZIP Code 25653 has 228 residents and 93 households (average 2.40 persons per household). The median age is 45.4 years, slightly older than the state (42.9) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 48.7% male and 51.3% female, which is about the same as the state male share (49.6%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (93.0%, much higher than the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (3.9%, much lower than the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
