Hemlock's 46937 ZIP code serves 114 residents through a PO Box-only post office. The 57 PO Boxes operate in one of Indiana's smallest delivery zones, covering just 0.02 square miles in Howard County.
This isn't a postal anomaly. It's a rural settlement pattern common across the Midwest. The 35 occupied households here use PO Boxes not because street delivery doesn't exist in the area but because Hemlock's small size makes centralized mail pickup the practical solution. Three streets appear in USPS routing records (E 400 S, E 410 S, and S 443 E), but these serve rural routes where residents collect mail from the post office rather than receiving it at their properties. The adoption rate of 1.63 boxes per household suggests some boxes serve small businesses or farm operations, not unusual for agricultural areas where properties span multiple addresses.
The three streets follow rural Indiana's grid numbering system, where compass directions and numbers indicate distance from a county baseline. E 400 S means 400 units east of the north-south baseline and south of the east-west baseline.
ZIP Code 46937 has 114 residents and 35 households (average 3.26 persons per household). The median age is 45.3 years, significantly older than the state (38.2) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 57.9% male and 42.1% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (91.2%, much higher than the state average of 77.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (2.6%, much lower than the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 1.8%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
