The ZIP code itself covers just 0.017 square miles within Wabash County, Indiana. All 61 residents rely exclusively on PO Box delivery. There's no street carrier service here. The two streets with ZIP+4 records are Shopping Center Road and North Seminole Court, but these addresses serve as geographic identifiers rather than delivery points. One named building appears in postal records: the Postmaster facility itself.
This pattern is common in Indiana's smaller communities. Population density doesn't support dedicated carrier routes, so the post office becomes a gathering point. People from neighboring properties and unincorporated areas maintain boxes here, explaining why the count exceeds local households by 163%. The median age of 35.5 suggests working families rather than retirees.
Mail delivery infrastructure reflects practical economics. Maintaining 79 boxes in a compact facility costs less than operating multiple rural routes across dispersed farmland. Somerset's post office serves a radius that extends well beyond the ZIP boundary, functioning as a regional hub for an area much larger than the 61-person official population suggests.
The limited street infrastructure reflects Somerset's role as a regional postal hub rather than a traditional residential neighborhood. Shopping Center Road suggests commercial activity, while the single court indicates minimal residential development. These streets serve as geographic reference points in a community where PO Boxes handle all actual mail delivery.
ZIP Code 46984 has 61 residents and 30 households (average 2.03 persons per household). The median age is 35.5 years, slightly younger than the state (38.2) and younger than the nation (38.8).
