Mail delivery here is PO Box-based, though residents can use street addresses on Bethlehem Church Road and Tersoner Road. These two streets account for all residential carrier route service in the ZIP code. The high PO Box adoption rate of 0.96 means most households prefer or require box service at the post office rather than home delivery. With median household income around $24,600 and median home values at $78,700, Powellsville represents affordable rural living in eastern North Carolina.
The street names reflect rural North Carolina's religious heritage and family ties. Bethlehem Church Road references the local congregation that has likely served as a community anchor for generations. Tersoner Road appears to derive from a family name, common in small Southern communities where roads are named after longtime residents or landowners. With only two streets receiving carrier delivery, this shows how compact and tightly settled the community is.
