Kingston is a tiny Wisconsin village where almost everyone relies on a PO Box. With 98 boxes serving 114 households, 86% of residents pick up their mail at the post office. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative delivery method available. Yet the village also has rural carrier routes that serve addresses beyond the town center.
The village covers less than half a square mile in Green Lake County. Street names tell the story of a classic Midwestern grid: Main St, Pearl St, Vine St, Lake St, and Mill St. These aren't grand boulevards. They're the quiet roads of a place that's changed little since most of its buildings went up before 1939.
Kingston's 248 residents are primarily homeowners. Of the 114 occupied homes, 96 are owner-occupied (84%). Median household income sits at $63,750, and homes are valued around $130,800. The median age of 46.4 years suggests established families and older residents rather than young professionals.
One striking statistic: 33.8% of workers here work from home. In a village this small, that's 8 people. Combined with the historic housing stock (87% built before 1939) and rural character, Kingston appears to be a quiet place where people have found ways to earn a living without commuting to larger towns.
Street names follow a classic Midwestern small-town grid with Main, Pearl, Vine, Lake, and Mill streets.
