Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 175 PO Boxes but only 17 households live in the ZIP code itself, showing this facility serves surrounding rural areas.
  • All 17 housing units were occupied in the 2020 census, indicating stable local residency despite the tiny population of 50 people.
  • The ZIP covers just 0.17 square miles, making it one of the smallest PO Box zones by land area.
  • Mangum Drive is the only street with carrier delivery records in the entire ZIP code.
  • Star sits 16 miles from downtown Jackson, the nearest major neighborhood, explaining its role as a rural postal hub.
  • 24 businesses maintain addresses here despite the minimal residential population.

Regional Service Beyond Local Population

The post office draws customers from Rankin County's rural areas where street delivery doesn't reach. When the ratio hits 10 to 1, it means families from neighboring communities rely on this location for mail service. There's minimal housing density here. The ZIP covers just 0.17 square miles with one street receiving carrier delivery: Mangum Drive. Most of the postal footprint consists of the PO Box facility itself.

Community Profile

The community recorded 36.3 as its median age in the 2020 census. All 17 housing units were occupied, showing stable residency despite the small scale. The population is 94% white, with 47 people in that category and 3 identifying as Black or African American. One person reported Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.

Mail Delivery Infrastructure

Rural Route 2 serves the scattered homes that do exist, while Route G (General Delivery) handles the broader postal network. The facility operates as Classification P, meaning this ZIP contains only PO Boxes without city-style carrier routes. Star doesn't have traditional commercial blocks or residential subdivisions. Instead, it functions as a postal hub where 24 businesses maintain addresses alongside the 175 individual boxes.

Geographic Context

The nearest substantial neighborhood sits 16 miles away in downtown Jackson. That distance explains why Star maintains its separate postal identity. For residents across this section of Rankin County, the 39167 ZIP provides essential mail access that street delivery can't match in such dispersed settlement patterns.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Delivery

With only Mangum Drive receiving carrier delivery, Star's street infrastructure reflects its role as a PO Box hub rather than a residential community. The single street with delivery points underscores how thoroughly this ZIP depends on box-based service.
