Saint Martin is a small town in Stearns County, Minnesota, where all mail delivery requires a PO Box. The post office maintains 136 PO Boxes for a population of 303 residents living in 128 households. This is a PO Box Only Zone, which means there's no alternative delivery method across the town's compact one square mile territory.
With a PO Box adoption rate of 1.062, the post office serves slightly more boxes than local households. This indicates the post office handles mail for surrounding areas beyond the town itself, along with business delivery for the 20 local establishments employing 252 workers.
Saint Martin uses rural carrier routes for its limited street delivery infrastructure. The town has 11 distinct street names including Maine Street, West Street, and Birch Street. One building shows apartment units on Maine Street, but most addresses are single-family homes. The median home value of $212,800 and 87% homeownership rate indicate a stable, working-class community.
Residents are predominantly white (95%) with a median age of 35.3 years. The town has a practical, blue-collar character. About 37% of workers commute by driving alone, while 35% carpool, suggesting many residents work outside town. Educational attainment is modest, with just 11% holding bachelor's degrees.
All mail to Saint Martin addresses must include a PO Box number. The town is also recognized under the abbreviated form "St Martin," though "Saint Martin" is the preferred mailing name.
Street names follow a simple pattern with basic directional and nature-themed names typical of small Minnesota towns.
