Vaughnsville is a small village in Putnam County, Ohio, with a population of 262 residents across 98 households. This compact community covers just 0.16 square miles and is classified as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning street delivery isn't available anywhere in the area. The Vaughnsville post office maintains 105 PO Boxes, serving the entire village and some surrounding areas.
Despite its PO Box classification, Vaughnsville has both city carrier routes and rural routes operating within its boundaries. This mixed delivery pattern (Urban+Rural) serves 21 street delivery records alongside the PO Box service. The main thoroughfare is Findlay Street, which runs east-west through the village. Other streets include Center Street, Water Street, and Charles Street.
Vaughnsville is a predominantly white (95%) community with a median age of 37 years. The housing stock is notably old, with 164 units built before 1939. Nearly all (91 of 98) occupied homes are owner-occupied. Median household income sits at $60,208, with median home values around $104,000. Only 7.2% of adults hold bachelor's degrees, well below national averages.
The PO Box adoption rate of 1.07 indicates the post office serves slightly more than just the local households. With 105 boxes and 98 households, this suggests some boxes serve businesses (5 establishments employ 37 people locally) or residents from outside the immediate ZCTA boundary who use Vaughnsville for mail service.
Street names follow a simple historic grid pattern typical of small Ohio villages, with Findlay Street as the main east-west route.
