Etna is a small village in Licking County, Ohio, classified as a PO Box Only Zone. The 373 residents across 121 households rely exclusively on PO Boxes for mail delivery, with the post office maintaining 140 boxes to serve both local residents and the surrounding area. There's no city carrier route service here. Instead, two rural routes handle what limited street delivery exists.
The village occupies less than one square mile (0.76 square miles) in rural central Ohio, about 20 miles east of Columbus. Street names like Pike St SW, Columbus St, and South St hint at Etna's 19th-century origins. In fact, 91 of the 138 housing units date from before 1939, making this one of Ohio's older residential communities. With a median age of 38.9 years and a median household income of $69,028, Etna is home to working families rather than retirees or students.
The PO Box adoption rate of 1.16 (140 boxes for 121 households) shows that Etna's post office serves slightly beyond its immediate boundaries. Nearby subdivisions like Cumberland Trail, Pepper Tree, and Villages at Cumberland Trail sit within a mile of the village center, and some of their residents may use Etna PO Boxes. The village supports 15 business establishments employing 152 workers, suggesting it functions as a small employment node for the area.
This isn't a vacation community. Only 2 of 138 housing units are seasonal, and 96 households (79%) own their homes rather than rent. The population is predominantly white (307 of 373 residents), with a small Hispanic population of 39 residents. Because this is a PO Box Only Zone, anyone receiving mail in Etna must use a PO Box address format. Rural route delivery serves a handful of locations on roads like Hazelton Etna Rd and National Rd SW, but most residents pick up mail at the post office.
Street names like Pike, Columbus, and South reflect 19th-century village layout with simple directional naming.
