Clyman is a small Wisconsin town in Dodge County where PO Boxes are the only mail delivery option. The post office maintains 180 boxes serving 405 residents across 174 households. This isn't by choice. Clyman is designated a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative way to receive mail.
Despite the PO Box classification, the town does have rural carrier delivery on two routes serving 40 delivery points along local streets. Main Street, with 11 ZIP+4 records, forms the historic center. Other streets like Collins, Church, and Territorial Road trace the compact 0.36 square mile village footprint.
The community is working-class and predominantly white (90% of the 405 residents). Median household income stands at $71,071, close to Wisconsin averages. The median age of 41.4 years suggests a mix of working families and established residents. About 66% of households own their homes, while 34% rent.
Clyman's economy is modest. Only 12 business establishments employ 337 workers, but many of those jobs likely serve the broader Dodge County area rather than local residents. The high work-from-home rate of 27% is notable for a small town. Most commuters drive alone to work.
All mail to Clyman addresses must use the PO Box format. Rural route delivery exists for existing residents, but new addresses require PO Boxes. The acceptable mailing format is:
