Carrollton sits just north of Saginaw in central Michigan, a small community of 431 residents where the post office is the only mail option. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no street delivery alternative anywhere in the area. With 205 PO Boxes serving 168 households, the adoption rate of 1.22 suggests residents from surrounding areas also rely on the Carrollton post office for mail.
The community covers less than a square mile but maintains both city and rural carrier routes. It's a working-class neighborhood with a median household income of $31,787 and modest home values around $68,100. Most residents (82%) own their homes. The population skews younger than typical retirement areas, with a median age of 37.
Street names tell the story of an old Michigan town platted in the presidential naming tradition. Madison Street carries the most address records, followed by Carrollton Road, Hickory, Walnut, and Mapleridge. You'll also find Jackson, Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln, Tyler, Polk, McKinley, Grant, and Johnson streets. These civic-minded names suggest the town was laid out during the 19th century when naming streets after presidents was common practice.
A notable portion of the local workforce (188 workers) is employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities. Another 73 work from home, and 125 use public transit for commuting. This employment pattern suggests Carrollton functions as a residential base for workers commuting to jobs across the Saginaw region.
Streets named after U.S. presidents dominate the grid, mixed with tree names like Hickory, Walnut, and Balsam.
