Community Overview

Stockbridge sits in rural Calumet County, Wisconsin, about 11 miles south of Appleton. With 279 residents in 136 households, it's a compact village where the post office handles all mail. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative to PO Box delivery within this ZIP code.

Postal Services

The village maintains 142 PO Boxes for its 136 households, a 1.04 adoption rate. That near-perfect match suggests the post office serves primarily local residents rather than a wider regional area. Rural carrier routes deliver to addresses on S Military Road, Union Street, Enterprise Street, and Church Street, but the PO Box-only classification means anyone wanting mail must pick it up at the post office.

A 19th-Century Village

Stockbridge has remarkably old housing stock. Of the 144 total housing units, 140 were built before 1939. This isn't a subdivision or planned development. It's a historic Wisconsin village that predates modern postal infrastructure. Street names like Union Street, Enterprise Street, School Street, and Court Street suggest a 19th-century town layout.

Local Economy

The local economy tilts heavily toward transportation and warehousing. Of the employed residents, 93 work in transportation, warehousing, or utilities. That's a significant concentration for a village this size, likely tied to trucking and logistics serving the Fox Valley region. Median household income sits at $58,000, with homes valued around $163,300. About 21% of workers work from home.
