The ZIP maintains 35 PO Boxes for 33 households, an adoption rate of 1.06 that indicates service extends slightly beyond Beetown itself. Two rural carrier routes handle street delivery—Muscallounge Road and Pincenti—while the post office manages business mail for five local enterprises. The median household income of $78,571 and median home value of $206,300 suggest comfortable rural living. Seasonal housing is minimal, with only three vacant units. This isn't a vacation community but a year-round retirement settlement where older residents chose rural Wisconsin's quiet farmland over suburban life.
Muscallounge Road references the muskellunge, a prized game fish in Wisconsin's rivers and lakes, while Pincenti appears to be a family or local name. The minimal street infrastructure—just two delivery routes—reflects Beetown's small scale and rural setting.
