New Troy sits in the southwest corner of Michigan, a tiny community in Berrien County just a few miles from Lake Michigan and the Indiana state line. With 257 residents spread across 94 households, it's one of those rural Michigan crossroads where mail delivery requires a PO Box. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery option for residents.
The post office maintains 57 PO Boxes for 94 local households, a 61% adoption rate. That doesn't mean 39% go without mail. Rural carrier routes do serve the broader area, but the New Troy ZIP code itself has no street delivery options. Residents pick up their mail at the post office on State Street.
New Troy has deep roots. More than half the housing stock (54%) was built before 1939, and the street grid reads like an early Michigan settlement: State Street, Berrien Street (named for the county), Detroit Street, plus rural roads like California Road and Glendora Road that connect farms to town. Weechik Road hints at earlier Potawatomi presence in the region.
This is a working-class community with a median household income of $54,554 and median home values around $168,800. Most residents own their homes (77%). The largest employment sector is transportation, warehousing, and utilities, with 68 workers in those fields. About 15% work from home. Nearly everyone (100%) was born in the United States, and the median age of 43.4 years suggests established families rather than young professionals or retirees.
Street names reflect early Michigan settlement patterns, with Berrien Street referencing the county and Weechik Road suggesting Potawatomi heritage.
ZIP Code 49119 has 257 residents and 94 households (average 2.73 persons per household). The median age is 43.4 years, older than the state (40.1) and older than the nation (38.8).
