Gypsum is a tiny community in Ottawa County, Ohio, located on the Marblehead Peninsula near Lake Erie. With just 101 residents in 37 households, it's among the smallest populated ZIP codes classified as PO Box only. The Gypsum post office maintains 80 PO Boxes for these households, an adoption rate of 2.16 boxes per home. This indicates the post office serves people well beyond the village boundaries.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery option for residents here. While the ZIP technically has both city and rural carrier routes passing through, the PO Box classification means local mail pickup is mandatory. The street names tell the story of a traditional small town: S Lake Street, S Railroad Street, and Second Street form the core grid.
The local economy punches above its weight. Despite the small population, 3 business establishments employ 260 workers. These employees likely commute from surrounding areas and may use the Gypsum post office for work-related mail. The median age of 42.5 years suggests a stable, working-age community rather than a retirement destination.
Nearly all housing units (37 of 38) are occupied, with just one vacant property. Owner-occupied homes outnumber rentals by almost 2 to 1, with 24 owner-occupied and 13 renter-occupied units. This is a place where people stay.
Street names reflect a traditional small-town grid with references to the nearby lake and the railroad that once served the community.
