The ZIP classification dates back to before October 2004, when postal planners designated 33840 as a PO Box-only zone. No carrier routes deliver to street addresses here. Residents and businesses across this 0.10 square mile area rely exclusively on post office boxes. Ellis Avenue accounts for 111 of the 134 street-based ZIP+4 records, with units at one or more multi-family buildings. Fletcher Avenue adds five more unit-based addresses. The remaining eight streets handle individual delivery points scattered across the neighborhood.
The community sits in Polk County, just outside Lakeland's core postal grid. Nearby neighborhoods like Naomi Park and Crystal Hills maintain their own carrier delivery through different ZIP codes. Eaton Park doesn't. The 242 residents here represent a population-to-household ratio of 3.27, suggesting typical family structures rather than institutional housing. Median age stands at 32.8 years. The census counted 91 total housing units, with 74 occupied and 17 vacant.
Small business activity is modest but present. Ten establishments employ 74 workers within the ZIP boundary. The post office itself likely accounts for some of that employment. For 112 businesses using this address, the PO Box system provides a permanent mailing location that doesn't change with office relocations or home moves. That stability matters in a region where population shifts and development patterns continue to reshape the postal landscape.
Street names follow a simple residential pattern with state references (Maine, Iowa, Atlantic) and local features (Eaton, Ellis). The concentration of 111 records on Ellis Avenue suggests multi-family housing or a building with many units, while most other streets contain just one or two delivery points.
ZIP Code 33840 has 242 residents and 74 households (average 3.27 persons per household). The median age is 32.8 years, significantly younger than the state (43.0) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 58.7% male and 41.3% female, which is much higher than the state male share (48.6%), making this a male-majority area.
