Severn's post office serves a community of just 2 residents within its ZIP boundaries, though the facility maintains 93 PO Boxes. With a median age of 59.5 years, this is primarily a service point for the surrounding rural area rather than a residential center. The post office doesn't provide city carrier service, relying instead on two rural routes that cover the broader community.
The ZIP spans 0.28 square miles, with delivery points concentrated along Main Street and Stephenson Street. The adoption rate of 46.5 PO Boxes per household indicates this facility serves a regional function, providing mail service to customers from surrounding areas where carrier delivery isn't available.

With only 2 named streets, Severn has minimal street infrastructure. Main Street serves as the primary delivery corridor with 2 carrier route segments, while Stephenson Street has a single delivery point. The limited street network reflects the facility's role as a regional PO Box hub rather than a residential community.
