North Middletown sits in northeastern Bourbon County, Kentucky, covering just 0.025 square miles. This tiny incorporated town of 116 residents serves as a regional mail hub for surrounding rural areas. The post office maintains 96 PO Boxes for only 47 local households, a 2.04 adoption rate that shows the facility serves families from well beyond the town limits.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery doesn't reach the rural areas that depend on this post office. Residents from the surrounding countryside travel to North Middletown to collect their mail, creating a regional service pattern uncommon in such a small community.
The town itself is historic and working class. Of the 66 total housing units, 47 were built before 1939. That's 71% of all homes predating World War II. Mobile homes make up 23 of the units (35% of housing stock). Median household income stands at $11,786, well below state and national averages. Home values are modest at a median of $95,000.
Despite the PO Box classification, limited street delivery does exist within town. The USPS maintains one city carrier route and one rural route serving addresses on Main Street, Liberty Avenue, Vimont Street, and several other small streets. Mail delivery follows an Urban+Rural pattern, mixing in-town stops with countryside routes. However, for the broader service area, PO Boxes remain the only option.
The demographics are typical of rural Kentucky. Median age is 36.7 years. All residents in the census sample were born in the United States. The population is predominantly white (97 of 116 residents, or 84%). Only 3 residents are under 18, while 9 are ages 18 to 24. This isn't a retirement community; it's a stable small town with modest incomes and old housing stock.
Street names like Main Street, Liberty Avenue, and Church Street reflect a traditional small-town layout, with some streets named after nearby Millersburg.
ZIP Code 40357 has 116 residents and 47 households (average 2.47 persons per household). The median age is 36.7 years, slightly younger than the state (39.4) and slightly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.0% male and 50.0% female, which is about the same as the national male share (49.1%). Largest groups are White (83.6%, much higher than the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (12.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 12.9%, which is much higher than the state average (4.6%).
