The numbers tell the story of a small Mississippi Delta community serving as an essential service point. The 32 residents live in one of the state's least densely settled areas, where the nearest alternative postal facilities may be many miles away. Rural Route 1 and Rural Route 2 extend from Avon's post office, connecting scattered residences and farms across the agricultural landscape. For people living along these routes without street delivery, the Avon post office provides the only reliable mail access.
Avon Rd remains the community's single documented street, with just two delivery points recorded in postal records. This doesn't reflect the full extent of rural settlement in the area. Most addresses here use rural route designations rather than street names, which is standard for agricultural regions where homes sit far from paved roads and each other.
The median age of 40.5 years suggests a stable, working-age population rather than retirees or college students. With a population-to-household ratio of 2.46, Avon matches typical family household sizes for rural Mississippi. The community sits at coordinates 33.22°N, 91.05°W in the heart of the Delta, where cotton fields and soybean farms dominate the landscape. The post office's regional function reflects this geography: when settlement is this dispersed, even the smallest post office becomes critical infrastructure for dozens of square miles.
With just one documented street, Avon represents a rural settlement pattern where most addresses rely on rural route designations rather than traditional street names. This is characteristic of agricultural areas where homes and farms are widely dispersed across the landscape.
