Stroh sits in LaGrange County, Indiana, near the Michigan border. The 80 residents here live in one of the state's smaller communities, but the post office functions as a hub for surrounding areas without their own carrier delivery. When a ZIP code has more than twice as many PO Boxes as households, it means people are traveling from elsewhere to collect mail. In this case, they're coming from rural areas where street delivery isn't available or practical.
The delivery infrastructure tells the story. Only one street appears in the ZIP+4 records: 1175 E, with just four delivery points. That's it for street-based mail service within the 46789 boundary. Everything else goes through PO Boxes, and those boxes serve customers well beyond Stroh's population of 80. Rural routes extend into the surrounding countryside, connecting farms and homes that don't have traditional addresses.
This pattern is common in northern Indiana's rural counties, where small post offices anchor mail service for dispersed populations. The median age of 44 suggests an established community, mostly families rather than young singles or retirees. Nearly everyone is white (77 out of 80 residents), and the community has remained stable over time. The post office itself operates two named facilities: one for the Postmaster and another for Supvsr Accountable Paper, indicating standard USPS administrative functions rather than specialized operations.
What looks like a mismatch between population and PO Box count actually reflects efficient postal design. Small communities like Stroh don't need large carrier networks when a central PO Box facility can serve everyone within a reasonable drive. The 2.24 adoption rate positions this as a genuine regional hub, not just a local post office with a few extra boxes.
With only one street address in the ZIP+4 database, Stroh's postal infrastructure centers almost entirely on PO Box service rather than traditional street delivery. The single street entry (1175 E) likely represents a small cluster of homes or businesses that receive carrier delivery, while the rest of the service area relies on post office boxes and rural routes.
ZIP Code 46789 has 80 residents and 45 households (average 1.78 persons per household). The median age is 44.0 years, older than the state (38.2) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 36.3% male and 63.8% female, which is much lower than the state male share (49.3%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (96.3%, much higher than the state average of 77.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (10.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 10.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
