Mosherville sits in rural Hillsdale County, Michigan, where 47 PO Boxes serve a tiny hamlet of just 38 residents living in 12 homes. The post office maintains nearly four times as many boxes as there are local households (3.92x adoption rate), serving families from the surrounding countryside who travel here for mail access.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across this part of southern Michigan's agricultural region. While two rural carrier routes deliver to some addresses on roads like Winfield Road and Plain Street, the post office remains the primary mail access point for the broader area. The ZIP covers just 0.024 square miles, making it one of Michigan's smallest PO Box territories by area.
The 38 residents who live within the ZCTA boundaries are overwhelmingly white (37 of 38) with a median age of 39.5 years. All 12 occupied homes are owner-occupied. There are no rental units. Housing stock is old: 5 of the 18 total housing units were built before 1939. Six units sit vacant, with 3 held for seasonal or occasional use.
Mosherville has no recorded business establishments or employment within the ZIP. The hamlet functions purely as a residential and postal service point. Street names like Plain Street, North Street, East Street, and West Street suggest a simple grid from an earlier era, while Winfield Road connects to surrounding farmland. The named building in postal records is simply "Postmaster," indicating the post office building itself.
Mail addressed to Mosherville, MI 49258 should use PO Box format for most recipients. Limited rural route delivery is available on Winfield Road (9 delivery points), Plain Street (6 points), and a few other streets, but the majority of the service area relies on PO Boxes at the post office.
Street names like Plain Street, North Street, East Street, and West Street form a simple grid from an earlier era, with Winfield Road as the main rural connector.
