The population dynamics reveal institutional influence. Of 150 residents, 61 people live in institutional settings like correctional facilities or group quarters. That's 41% of the population. The median age of 55.3 years and the presence of 69 residents in group quarters suggest this area includes specialized residential facilities. The remaining civilian population occupies just 27 housing units.
The post office sits within the Douglas Byrd neighborhood area, adjacent to Fayetteville's southern corridor. The location near Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) means military-connected families and regional service needs shape the mail patterns. Nearby neighborhoods include Jack Britt and Seventy-First, both part of greater Fayetteville's service infrastructure. This positioning explains why PO Box demand exceeds local household counts by such a wide margin.
For anyone using a 28331 address, there's no alternative to PO Box service. The ZIP classification reflects reality here: this is a true PO Box-only zone with no street delivery infrastructure. All mail arrives at the post office facility. The single street in the postal database, Wingate Road, doesn't offer home delivery despite having 45 delivery records. Those records represent unit assignments within facilities, not traditional residential addresses.
The postal database contains only one street: Wingate Road, which accounts for all 45 street delivery records. This single-street pattern reflects institutional addressing rather than a traditional neighborhood layout. The delivery records represent unit assignments within facilities, not standard residential addresses, which is why PO Box service remains the only option for mail delivery in this ZIP code.
ZIP Code 28331 has 150 residents and 27 households (average 3.00 persons per household).
