Jewell operates as a PO Box-only ZIP code, though limited street delivery exists on Independence Road. The carrier route system includes 2 city delivery records and 1 general delivery record across 108 total ZIP+4 segments. Most of these segments (105 records) support PO Box delivery, reflecting the post office's primary function as a regional mail hub rather than a local street delivery operation.
The community itself is tiny. Census data from 2020 shows 15 people living in 7 occupied housing units, with a median age of 32.5 years. All 12 adults identify as white, with no reported racial or ethnic diversity. The area covers just 0.142 square miles of land with no water features, making it one of Ohio's smallest incorporated postal zones.
The high adoption rate at such a small facility points to Jewell serving as a mail collection point for rural residents in northwestern Ohio who lack carrier delivery at their homes. With no government buildings, just one named building (the post office itself), and a single street with delivery records, the ZIP code functions as a service hub rather than a residential community. The facility has operated since before October 2004, when current USPS records begin.
With only Independence Road appearing in delivery records, Jewell has one of Ohio's simplest street networks. The single road name reflects the area's rural character and minimal residential development.
ZIP Code 43530 has 15 residents and 7 households (average 2.14 persons per household). The median age is 32.5 years, significantly younger than the state (39.8) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 86.7% male and 13.3% female, which is much higher than the state male share (49.0%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (80.0%, much higher than the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (0.0%, much lower than the state average of 12.5% and well below the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
