Mail delivery here works differently than in residential neighborhoods. The post office processes delivery through building-based routes serving named locations like the Wisconsin Veterans Home facility and the Postmaster office. Street addresses exist on paper for administrative purposes, but they don't function like typical residential streets. County Road QQ, Cumberlidge Avenue, and Mitchell Avenue each appear in postal records with delivery points, but these serve internal facility divisions rather than individual homes.
The Census Bureau counts 78.3 as the median age for this ZIP code, though that figure requires context. Nearly all 302 residents live in group quarters classified as institutionalized population. Only 2 occupied housing units exist outside the main facility, likely staff residences. This isn't a community where people own homes or rent apartments in the conventional sense.
The postal infrastructure reflects institutional needs rather than residential patterns. Thirty-one PO Boxes serve a population of 302, yielding an adoption rate of 15.5%. That's higher than typical residential areas but makes sense for a facility where residents may maintain separate mailing addresses for personal correspondence, family communication, or financial matters. One rural carrier route handles street delivery, supplemented by five PO Box routes. The facility itself spans just 0.07 square miles, making it one of Wisconsin's smallest ZIP codes by area.
This setup explains why standard housing statistics don't apply here. The American Community Survey reports a median household income of $30,385, but that figure comes from the handful of occupied housing units outside the main facility, not from the veterans' home itself. No residents work from home, own vehicles registered to residential addresses, or pay typical homeowner costs. The ZIP code operates as a self-contained institutional address rather than a geographic community in the traditional sense.
Street names serve internal facility navigation for the Wisconsin Veterans Home campus rather than traditional residential neighborhoods. Roads like Activities Boulevard and named avenues (Cumberlidge, Mitchell, Marden, Bell) help organize the institutional complex across its 0.07-square-mile footprint.
ZIP Code 54946 has 302 residents and 2 households (average 3.50 persons per household). The median age is 78.3 years, significantly older than the state (40.1) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 80.1% male and 19.9% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (96.7%, much higher than the state average of 80.4% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (1.7%, much lower than the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.7%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
