Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 31 PO Boxes for a local population of just 32 people across 9 households.
  • An adoption rate of 3.44 means the facility serves more than three times as many PO Box customers as local households, indicating significant regional service.
  • Only one street appears in postal delivery records: Olson Road with 3 delivery points.
  • The 2020 Census counted 32 residents with a median age of 33.5 years, suggesting working-age families.
  • All 9 occupied housing units are year-round residences with no seasonal vacation properties.
  • The ZIP code is classified as PO Box only, meaning no street delivery routes operate within 46922 itself.

Regional Service Beyond Local Boundaries

DeLong's post office serves a population that extends well beyond its immediate boundaries. With 31 PO Boxes maintained for just 32 local residents across 9 households, the adoption rate of 3.44 shows this facility functions as a regional service point for surrounding areas without carrier delivery options.

Minimal Street Infrastructure

The ZIP code itself covers minimal territory with just one street receiving postal service: Olson Road. This doesn't mean DeLong lacks physical infrastructure, but rather that the 46922 ZIP designation exists primarily to organize PO Box service for customers who can't receive mail at their physical addresses. The post office also handles delivery to one named building listed in postal records.

Rural Indiana Service Patterns

This pattern is common in rural Indiana, where consolidated school districts, township boundaries, and carrier route economics create pockets where PO Box service proves more practical than establishing dedicated street delivery. The population density is extremely low, with just 32 people counted in the 2020 Census.

Community Demographics

Fulton County's geography explains why some addresses use DeLong's boxes while receiving other services from neighboring communities. The median age of 33.5 years suggests a mix of working families rather than a retirement community. Of the 11 total housing units, 9 are occupied year-round, with no seasonal vacancy patterns.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Infrastructure Single Street Service

With only Olson Road appearing in postal records, DeLong represents one of Indiana's smallest carrier route footprints. The single street with 3 delivery points reinforces that this ZIP primarily exists to organize PO Box service rather than street delivery.
