The numbers tell the story of mail service extending well beyond town boundaries. While Nottawa itself occupies just 0.027 square miles in St. Joseph County, the ZIP maintains one rural carrier route alongside the PO Box operation. That 75-box inventory serves customers who don't have street delivery options in surrounding rural areas. They drive to Nottawa because it's their nearest postal facility.
Delivery patterns show the split between local and regional customers. The town has minimal street infrastructure—just Railroad Street, Lincoln, and M-86 Highway appear in postal records—yet the post office operates as a central point for a much larger service area. One named building appears in the delivery system: the Postmaster location itself.
The community's demographics reflect a small, stable population. The median age is 29.0 years, with 28 occupied housing units recording a median household income of $100,833. Median home values reach $63,300. The adoption rate doesn't reflect local preferences—it reflects geographic necessity for customers beyond Nottawa's borders who lack alternative delivery methods.
The three streets in postal records reflect a tiny incorporated area—Railroad Street handles most delivery points, while M-86 Highway provides the main transportation corridor. The limited street network explains why regional customers rely on PO Boxes rather than street delivery.
