Rosebud serves as the postal hub for the Rosebud Indian Reservation in south-central South Dakota. Of the 1,933 residents, 95% are Native American (1,839 people), making this one of the most concentrated tribal communities in the state. The ZIP encompasses 62 square miles in Todd County, where extended family households are common. With 1,933 residents in 511 homes, that's 3.8 people per household, nearly double the national average.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the territory. The Rosebud post office maintains 596 PO Boxes for 511 households, a 117% adoption rate that shows the post office serves not just local residents but people from surrounding areas of the reservation. Rural carrier routes reach some addresses, but most residents rely on PO Boxes at the post office.
Street names preserve tribal heritage and history. BIA routes (BIA 1, BIA 5, BIA 7, BIA 9) form the main road network, managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Local streets honor Lakota leaders and culture: Sitting Bear Street, Spotted Tail Lane, Running Wolf Street, and Soldier Creek Drive. One street bears the name Crazy Horse Canyon Road.
The median age is 24.4 years, indicating a young community. Just 14% of adults hold bachelor's degrees. Government work dominates employment, with 228 workers in public administration out of the measured workforce. Median household income sits at $44,457, while per capita income is $12,228. The low per capita figure combined with the high household size shows resources are stretched across large families. Median home values are $45,000, and median rent is $558.
The USPS recognizes two alternative names for this location, though neither is valid for mailing. "Rosebud Indian Reservation" and "Yankton Indian Reservation" appear in postal records but mail must be addressed to Rosebud. All three aliases date to before October 2004, when the USPS began tracking introduction dates.
Mail to Rosebud must use a PO Box address. With no city carrier delivery available across the reservation, the post office functions as the community's mail hub. Residents travel to the Rosebud post office to collect mail, packages, and government documents.
Street names honor Lakota leaders and culture while BIA routes form the primary road network.
