Kirkersville is a small village in Licking County, Ohio, about 30 miles east of Columbus. With just 352 residents and 133 households spread across less than half a square mile, it's classified as a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across this territory.
The post office maintains 160 PO Boxes for those 133 homes. That 1.2-to-1 adoption rate means the Kirkersville post office serves local residents plus businesses and people from surrounding rural areas. Two rural carrier routes handle street delivery within the village, but PO Box access remains essential for reliable service.
The village centers on Main Street, which runs east-west through town. Numbered streets (2nd through 5th) form a small grid pattern typical of 19th-century Ohio villages. West Main Street has 14 delivery points and East Main Street has 12, making this corridor the commercial and residential core. Some addresses include apartment units, indicating modest multi-family housing.
Kirkersville's economy leans heavily on transportation and warehousing. Of the working population tracked in census data, 141 residents work in this sector. That's an unusually high concentration for such a small community, likely tied to the village's location along National Road (the historic U.S. Route 40 corridor). About 26% of workers do their jobs from home.
Median household income sits at $68,333, with median home values around $158,300. These are moderate figures for rural Ohio. The village skews older (median age 40) with relatively few children. Educational attainment is low, with only 6.1% holding bachelor's degrees. Nearly everyone (98.2%) was born in the United States. The population is 89% white, 13% Hispanic, and includes small numbers of other groups.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. For reliable mail delivery, a PO Box at the Kirkersville post office is required. While rural carrier routes serve some street addresses within the village, PO Box service is the recommended option.
Numbered streets (2nd through 5th) and Main Street form a classic small-town Ohio grid pattern.
ZIP Code 43033 has 352 residents and 133 households (average 2.65 persons per household). The median age is 40.0 years, about the same as the state (39.8) and slightly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 51.1% male and 48.9% female, which is slightly higher than the state male share (49.0%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (88.9%, much higher than the state average of 77.0% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (3.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 3.1%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
