Stout is a tiny Iowa community of 185 residents in Grundy County. The USPS designated this as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery available. All residents must use PO Boxes to receive mail.
The Stout post office maintains 76 PO Boxes for 73 occupied households. That's a 1.04 adoption rate, slightly higher than the local household count. This indicates the post office serves not just Stout itself but also some surrounding rural addresses. Two rural carrier routes (designated as R routes) provide mail delivery to the broader area.
It's a small farming community. The compact 0.17 square mile ZIP code shows a numbered street grid (1st through 4th Streets) plus Main Street, Sawyer Street, and South Street. With 64 owner-occupied homes and just 9 rentals, it's a stable ownership community. The median age of 39.8 years and household size of 2.5 people indicate working-age families rather than a retirement population.
Stout has no registered business establishments according to Census data, suggesting residents commute to nearby Waterloo (17 miles east) for work. The nearest neighborhoods are in Waterloo's metro area. Median household income is $87,500, above Iowa's median. Home values average $120,800, typical for rural Iowa. Transportation workers make up a significant portion of the workforce (91 workers out of the small labor force), and 33% work from home, a high percentage suggesting remote work or farm-based occupations.
All mail to Stout addresses must be sent to PO Boxes. Street addresses are not valid for mail delivery in this ZIP code. The correct format is:
