Tontogany is a compact village in northwest Ohio's Wood County, covering just 0.16 square miles about 8 miles southwest of Maumee. Despite its PO Box classification, the ZIP includes both city and rural carrier routes. The village maintains 159 PO Boxes for 145 households, a 110% adoption rate that shows local mail service extends slightly beyond the immediate community.
This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning residents don't have alternatives for mail delivery within the 43565 boundary. That said, carrier routes do exist here. The 41 rural route records and 2 city route records suggest some addresses receive street delivery through neighboring ZIP infrastructure while the village itself relies on PO Box pickup.
Tontogany's housing stock tells a story of continuity. Of 155 housing units, 139 were built before 1939. That's 90% of all homes dating back over 85 years. Street names like Main Street, Broad Street, Washington Street, and Lincoln Street follow the traditional grid pattern of small Ohio towns platted in the 19th century.
The workforce here leans toward transportation and logistics. Of employed residents, 105 work in transportation, warehousing, or utilities. Another 45 work in public administration. Median household income sits at $59,083 with home values around $160,300. Owner-occupied housing accounts for 75% of units. The median age of 41.2 years and near-zero seasonal vacancy point to a stable, year-round residential community rather than a transient or vacation destination.
