Rochester is a village in Racine County, Wisconsin, where all 383 residents rely on PO Boxes for mail delivery. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative across the village's 0.44 square miles. The post office maintains 186 PO Boxes for 172 households, with the extra boxes serving surrounding rural areas and the village's 13 businesses.
The village is remarkably historic. Of 181 total housing units, 152 were built before 1939. That's 84% of the housing stock dating to the 19th or early 20th century. This explains the PO Box requirement: historic homes in compact village centers often lack the standardized street addressing needed for modern carrier delivery. Streets like S State St, E Spring St, and N State St form a traditional small-town grid.
Rochester has two rural carrier routes serving the village and surrounding area. Despite the PO Box Only designation, some addresses receive rural route delivery outside the village center. The median age is 48.2 years, and homeownership is strong (134 of 172 households own their homes). Median home values sit at $325,700.
With only 4 residents under 18 and 103 people employed at local establishments, this is a quiet, aging community. The village sits in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, about 10 miles from Big Bend subdivisions. Rochester preserves small-town Wisconsin character while PO Boxes connect residents to modern commerce and communication.
