The delivery pattern tells the story. This is classified as a "P" ZIP code, meaning it contains only PO Box delivery addresses. There's one rural carrier route serving the area, but most mail goes to boxes at the Burt Lake post office. The PO Box adoption rate of 0.89 means nearly nine out of ten households choose box service. For vacation properties, that makes sense. A PO Box stays active year-round while the house sits empty for months.
The street network is minimal. Resort Road handles most addressed locations, with two ZIP+4 records. M 68 and East West Resort Road account for the rest. The community sits on 1.27 square miles of land with no significant water area in the ZIP boundary itself, though Burt Lake is nearby. With a median age of 49.7 years and no institutional population, this is a quiet retreat for middle-aged and older residents who want lake access without the density of larger resort towns.
The street names make the community's purpose clear. Resort Road dominates the limited address list, while M 68 provides highway access. With only three streets generating ZIP+4 records, this is one of Michigan's smallest vacation-property communities.
ZIP Code 49717 has 170 residents and 80 households (average 2.13 persons per household). The median age is 49.7 years, significantly older than the state (40.1) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 52.9% male and 47.1% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (89.4%, much higher than the state average of 73.9% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and American Indian & Alaska Native (2.9%, slightly higher than the state average of 0.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 1.2%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
