Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 174 PO Boxes for just 87 local households, serving surrounding rural areas without carrier delivery
  • Only 0.22 square miles in area, one of Ohio's smallest ZIP codes by geographic size
  • Two rural carrier routes serve the area; there's no city carrier delivery available
  • The median age of 52.0 indicates an older, established community
  • Median household income of $12,740 is significantly below state and national averages
  • 12.6% of residents (28 people) live in institutional settings

Rural Delivery Pattern

The ZIP code covers just 0.22 square miles but serves a dispersed population pattern. Two rural carrier routes handle delivery to the scattered addresses along US Highway 52 and smaller roads like Rabbit Run Road and 3rd Street. There's no city carrier delivery here. The rural routes reflect the geography: river valley communities stretched along the highway corridor where traditional house-to-house service doesn't make economic sense.

Demographics and Housing

Of the 222 residents, 28 live in institutional settings. That's 12.6% of the population. The median age of 52.0 suggests an older, established community rather than a family-centered area. With 87 occupied housing units serving 222 people, the population-to-household ratio of 2.55 shows typical household sizes for rural Appalachian communities.

Postal Infrastructure

The post office offers the only consistent delivery option. There are six distinct street names in the ZIP+4 database, but only two actually receive street delivery via rural routes. The majority of addresses use PO Box numbers as their primary mailing address. Median household income sits at $12,740, well below state and national averages. There's no median home value data reported, suggesting limited housing market activity in this small river community.

Street Name Patterns

Numbered Grid Highway Corridor

The street pattern shows a small river community clustered along US Highway 52 with a simple numbered grid (2nd, 3rd, 4th Streets) typical of early 20th-century Ohio River towns. Rabbit Run Road suggests the rural, Appalachian character of the surrounding area.
