Glen Allen's post office maintains 41 PO Boxes for a local population of just 30 people living in 6 households. That adoption rate of 6.83 means this facility serves a much broader geographic area than the immediate community. People from surrounding unincorporated areas of Fayette County travel here because they don't have carrier delivery options where they live.
The ZIP code itself covers minimal territory, with virtually no land area captured in standard boundaries. What exists is a post office on Highway 129 South serving as a mail hub for rural residents scattered across the region. There's one street with delivery records and one named building in the postal system. The carrier route structure includes both city and rural routes, reflecting the mixed service area this small facility manages.
With a median household income of $26,000 and a median age of 44, the service area reflects rural Alabama's economic patterns. Only 6 occupied housing units sit within the immediate ZIP boundary, but the 41 PO Boxes tell the real story. Families from miles around rely on this post office because street delivery isn't available in the outlying areas. This isn't about choice or preference. It's about geographic reality in a region where homes sit on large parcels connected by rural roads that don't receive regular carrier service.
The classification shows this as a PO Box-only zone, which accurately describes the situation for most customers here. The alternative isn't switching to street delivery. The alternative is driving even farther to another post office. Glen Allen's facility serves a dispersed population that needs a local access point for mail services, and the adoption rate makes that regional function clear.
The street list consists of a single highway, reflecting a rural corridor community with minimal street infrastructure within ZIP boundaries. The post office sits along Highway 129, serving as an access point for residents scattered across the surrounding countryside.
ZIP Code 35559 has 30 residents and 6 households (average 5.00 persons per household). The median age is 44.0 years, older than the state (39.7) and older than the nation (38.8).

Largest groups are White (93.3%, much higher than the state average of 64.1% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (10.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 10.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
