Milligan University, a small Christian liberal arts institution in Carter County, Tennessee, operates its own ZIP code. The campus spans just 0.002 square miles, yet it's home to 392 people. This isn't a residential community. It's a college campus where 351 students (89.5% of the population) live in dormitories.
Mail reaches campus buildings through city carrier routes. The primary delivery address is Neth Drive, which handles 96 delivery points with unit designators. The university building itself appears in postal records as "Milligan College," though the institution officially became Milligan University. In April 2025, USPS added two new mailing aliases: "Milligan Colg" and "Milligan Univ," recognizing both the historical and current names.
The campus maintains 243 PO Boxes serving students, staff, and the surrounding region. That's 27 boxes for every occupied household within the ZIP code boundary, because the post office serves far beyond the campus itself.
With 43.6 people per household unit, the demographics tell a clear story. The median age is 21.1 years. Nearly everyone here is a college student. Of the 392 residents, 315 are white (80.4%), 28 are Black (7.1%), 9 are Asian (2.3%), and the remainder identify with other races or multiple races.
The university employs 665 people across four establishments, making it the dominant employer for this ZIP code. Education levels run high here. Among adults 25 and older, 53.1% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. Per capita income is $9,539, typical for a student population with limited earnings. About 16% of workers commute from home, and 120 drive alone to campus jobs.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists for the immediate campus area. The Milligan post office has served this educational community since before October 2004, when ZIP code tracking began. It functions as both campus mail center and regional service point for surrounding areas without carrier delivery.
