Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 123 PO Boxes for only 21 local households, serving customers from well beyond the immediate community.
  • With an adoption rate of 5.86, this facility operates as a regional hub rather than just a local post office.
  • Only one street appears in USPS delivery records: E Varnell Main St with two delivery points.
  • The ZIP code population is just 50 people across 22 housing units, yet the box count exceeds 120.
  • Two rural carrier routes and one general delivery route handle mail distribution in this area.
  • This is classified as a PO Box only zone, meaning residents have no alternative street delivery option.

Why So Many PO Boxes?

The ZIP code itself covers minimal land area with a population of 50 people. Yet the post office maintains more than twice the number of boxes you'd expect even if every local household had multiple subscriptions. The explanation lies in surrounding communities. People from areas without convenient street delivery travel to Varnell's post office, making it a hub for a broader geographic region.

Delivery Infrastructure

Delivery here follows rural carrier routes. Two rural routes serve the area, along with one general delivery route. The street infrastructure is minimal: E Varnell Main St appears in the USPS database with just two delivery records. One named building, identified only as "Postmaster," exists in the ZIP+4 records. This sparse street presence reinforces why PO Boxes dominate.

Community Profile

The demographics paint a picture of a small, aging community. The median age is 22.0 years, though this figure seems inconsistent with other population characteristics. Census data shows 22 total housing units with 21 occupied, giving a 95% occupancy rate. The population density is extremely low given the limited land area. Three people identify as Hispanic or Latino. The racial composition shows 43 white residents, with small numbers in other categories. What's clear is that Varnell functions less as a standalone town and more as a postal service point for the surrounding Whitfield County area.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Infrastructure Rural Service Area

With only a single street in the USPS database, Varnell shows minimal street delivery infrastructure. The name "E Varnell Main St" suggests this is the primary thoroughfare through the community, but with just two delivery records, it confirms that PO Box service dominates the postal landscape here.
