Alamo is a tiny crossroads community in Montgomery County, Indiana, with just 66 residents and 19 households scattered across 0.062 square miles. This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery doesn't exist anywhere in the territory, making the post office the sole option for receiving mail.
The Alamo post office maintains 26 PO Boxes for 19 local households, with the extra boxes serving surrounding rural areas. That's an adoption rate of 1.37, meaning the post office serves more than just the immediate village. People from nearby farms and homes outside the village boundaries rely on Alamo for mail access.
Mail reaches Alamo through a mix of rural route delivery (26 ZIP+4 records) and a single city carrier route (4 records). General delivery is available for those without boxes. The post office employs at least six business delivery points, likely serving the few commercial operations that remain.
The street grid follows a classic small-town pattern with presidential names (Washington, Madison, Monroe) and Main Street running through the center. Franklin Street has the most addresses, with just five delivery points. Most streets have only one or two recorded addresses, showing how small this community is.
Homes here are old. Of the 34 total housing units, 24 were built before 1939. Nearly half sit vacant (44%), typical of rural Indiana towns that have shrunk over generations. The 19 occupied homes are split between 13 owner-occupied and 6 rentals. Median home value is $60,000.
With just 66 people, demographic patterns are limited. Median age is 29 years. Median household income is $51,250. Nearly all residents (100%) were born in the United States. The population is 89% white, with small numbers of other races. Transportation workers make up a notable share of the workforce (19 of 23 workers), likely commuting to jobs in nearby towns.
Street names follow classic small-town pattern with presidential names and Main Street, but most streets have only 1-3 delivery points.
