Yorktown is a tiny rural community in Page County, Iowa, with just 60 residents and 23 households spread across one-third of a square mile. This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists here. The post office maintains 13 PO Boxes for local use, with some residents also receiving mail via two rural carrier routes that extend into the surrounding countryside.
With a median age of 44 years and median household income of $47,500, Yorktown is a quiet, working-class community. Nearly 80% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (18 of 23 households). The housing stock is old. Twelve of the 32 total housing units were built before 1939, pointing to a settlement with more than a century of history. Street names honor American presidents: Adams Street, Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln appear alongside numbered streets like 5th Street and 3rd.
The ZIP+4 records show rural delivery dominates here, with 21 of 22 street-type records assigned to rural carrier routes. There are no business establishments recorded in Census data. One business delivery point exists in the spatial data, but this is primarily a residential hamlet. The small population and 0.565 PO Box adoption rate suggest a mixed-service pattern where some residents use boxes while others receive rural delivery.
