Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 53 PO Boxes for only 17 local households, with the extra capacity serving surrounding rural areas.
  • ZIP code 47455 covers just 0.008 square miles, making it one of Indiana's smallest postal zones by land area.
  • Only one street appears in delivery records: State Highway 246, with two ZIP+4 delivery points.
  • The population of 55 people lives at a density that makes this a postal service point rather than a residential center.
  • Six separate ZIP+4 records handle PO Box ranges, while only two cover street addresses, showing where mail volume concentrates.
  • Median household income of $22,871 falls well below state averages, though small sample sizes make this figure volatile.

Geographic Scale

The ZIP covers just 0.008 square miles—one of Indiana's smallest postal zones. Within that sliver of land, 55 people live in what amounts to a postal service point rather than a residential community. The 2020 Census recorded 17 occupied housing units and 8 vacant ones, giving Patricksburg 25 total housing units in less than one-hundredth of a square mile.

Mail Delivery Patterns

State Highway 246 runs through this area and accounts for the only street delivery records in the USPS database. Two ZIP+4 records cover street addresses along this route, but six separate records handle the PO Box ranges at the post office. That's where the real mail volume happens.

Community Demographics

The median age of 30.8 years is younger than many rural Indiana communities, though with only 55 people, small population shifts change percentages dramatically. One household reported Asian residents in 2020, adding minimal diversity to a predominantly white community. The median household income sits at $22,871, well below state and national averages, though this figure should be interpreted cautiously given the small sample size.

Regional Function

This isn't a traditional town. It's a rural service point where regional postal demand exceeds local population by a significant margin, indicating that residents from unincorporated areas throughout western Owen County depend on Patricksburg's post office for mail service.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor

Only State Highway 246 has street delivery records, with two ZIP+4 delivery points. The minimal street presence confirms this is primarily a PO Box service location rather than a traditional street delivery community.
