Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 28 PO Boxes for only 13 local households, showing it serves customers from surrounding areas without carrier delivery.
  • This is a true PO Box only zone where residents have no alternative delivery options for mail service.
  • All mail delivery happens through rural carrier routes rather than city-style street delivery.
  • The ZIP encompasses a very small land area of just 0.11 square miles, essentially the post office facility itself.
  • With a median household income of $21,078, this working-class community relies on centralized mail pickup.
  • At 25.5 years, the median age is notably young for a rural area, suggesting working-age families rather than retirees.

Highway Corridor Location

The ZIP contains only one street with delivery records: US Highway 84, which runs through southern Georgia near the Florida border. This highway corridor position, combined with the post office's reach beyond local boundaries, makes 31556 a service point for a broader area than its small population suggests.

Community Profile

Census data shows 42 residents with a median age of 25.5 years, younger than typical rural communities. All 13 households are occupied year-round. The area is almost entirely rural, with delivery handled through two rural carrier routes and one general delivery route rather than city-style carrier service.

Demographics and Economy

The community's demographics are straightforward: 38 white residents, 4 Hispanic residents, and small numbers of other backgrounds. With a median household income of $21,078, this is a working-class area where the post office provides essential mail services that wouldn't be economically viable through individual street delivery.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor
