Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 328 PO Boxes while the local area contains only 68 occupied households, an adoption rate of 4.82
  • This serves as a regional postal hub for surrounding communities beyond Whittaker's 163 residents
  • Two rural carrier routes deliver to just four streets across 1.12 square miles
  • The median household income of $74,732 and median home value of $219,600 indicate a stable middle-income community
  • Seventeen ZIP+4 codes organize the area: seven for street delivery and ten for PO Box ranges
  • The facility serves 13 businesses in addition to residential customers

Delivery Infrastructure

The 163 residents who call 48190 home live across 1.12 square miles of rural Washtenaw County. Mail arrives via two rural carrier routes, serving just four streets: Whittaker Road (the main route with three ZIP+4 records), Talladay Road, Spanish Oak Lane, and Laurel Oak Lane. There's no city carrier service here. The rural delivery infrastructure handles local needs, but the PO Box operation clearly extends well beyond Whittaker's borders.

Community Profile

This isn't a struggling community relying on PO Boxes by necessity. The median household income sits at $74,732, well above many rural areas. Median home values reach $219,600. These figures suggest a stable, middle-income population that's chosen PO Boxes alongside the available rural delivery. The median age of 38.8 years indicates a mix of working families rather than retirees or students.

Regional Service Role

The facility also serves 13 businesses, maintaining a named building entry for the Postmaster. Seventeen distinct ZIP+4 codes organize the delivery area: seven for street addresses, ten for PO Box ranges. That PO Box infrastructure supports not just Whittaker residents but customers from the broader region who need reliable mail service in an area where street delivery doesn't reach every home.

Street Name Patterns

Limited Rural Network Oak Themed Development

The street network is minimal, with Whittaker Road as the primary route and newer development evident in the oak-themed lane names (Spanish Oak, Laurel Oak). This limited street infrastructure contrasts sharply with the extensive PO Box operation serving the broader region.
