Sharpes is a tiny unincorporated community in Brevard County, Florida, within the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville metro area. With just 32 residents in 16 households, this isn't really a town. It's a postal access point for the surrounding Space Coast region.
The Sharpes post office maintains 204 PO Boxes for a resident population of only 32 people. That works out to nearly 13 boxes for every local household. Clearly, this post office serves far more than just Sharpes. Residents of nearby neighborhoods like Williams Point Estates, River Dunes, and Brentwood Heights rely on this location for their mail. The ZIP is designated a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery available here.
All 58 street-type delivery records in the ZIP+4 data point to a single address: N Cocoa Boulevard. This is the post office's physical location, and businesses use it for PO Box Street Addressing (where a PO Box number appears as a unit number at the building's street address). The 84 registered business delivery points suggest the post office handles significant commercial mail for the area.
The small residential population lives in modest circumstances. All 16 housing units are rentals, and about a third are mobile homes. Five homes date to before 1939, making them among the oldest structures in the area. The median age of 38.3 years indicates a working-age population rather than retirees.
The only street address in this ZIP is N Cocoa Boulevard, which is the post office building location used for PO Box Street Addressing.
ZIP Code 32959 has 32 residents and 16 households (average 2.00 persons per household). The median age is 38.3 years, younger than the state (43.0) and about the same as the nation (38.8). The gender split is 96.9% male and 3.1% female, which is much higher than the state male share (48.6%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (87.5%, much higher than the state average of 57.7% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (12.5%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 12.5%, which is much lower than the state average (26.5%).
