Doylestown is a tiny village in Columbia County, Wisconsin, with just 143 residents living in 62 households across 0.32 square miles. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery method for the surrounding area. Mail arrives via two rural routes, and the post office maintains 51 PO Boxes for 62 households (an 82% adoption rate).
The village has deep Wisconsin roots. Nearly 70% of homes were built before 1939, making this one of the oldest housing stocks in the state. Historic street names like Railroad Street, Thompson Street, and Lincoln Street trace the village's 19th-century origins. With a median home value of $137,500 and 89% owner-occupancy, Doylestown is an affordable, stable community where people stay.
Doylestown's economy centers on transportation and logistics. About 65% of workers are employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities, well above typical rural percentages. Meanwhile, 33% of workers work from home, suggesting a mix of traditional logistics jobs and remote professionals. Median household income is $83,125, above Wisconsin's median.
At 39.2 years, the median age is younger than many small Wisconsin towns. The community is 97% white, with 12% Hispanic or Latino residents. Only 21% of adults hold bachelor's degrees, below state averages. There are no business establishments recorded within the village itself, so residents commute to nearby Columbus or other regional employment centers for services and shopping.
Because this is a PO Box Only Zone, most residents maintain PO Boxes at the Doylestown Post Office. A small number of addresses receive rural route delivery. When mailing to Doylestown, verify whether the recipient uses a PO Box or rural route address.
Street names like Railroad Street and historic names such as Thompson, Lincoln, and Edwards reflect the village's 19th-century railroad heritage.
