The post office sits less than five miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Nearby Wisconsin neighborhoods like Ocean Spray (4.6 miles), Lance (4.9 miles), and White Caps (5.1 miles) fall within easy reach. For residents across the state line who need an Illinois mailing address for business registration, tax purposes, or mail forwarding services, Russell's post office offers a closer option than driving deeper into Illinois. The high adoption rate reflects this regional draw rather than local demand.
Mail service in this area operates exclusively through PO Boxes. The ZIP's two streets, N Kilbourne Rd and W Ingram Dr, receive delivery via rural carrier routes from neighboring ZIP codes. Five rural routes serve the area, along with three dedicated PO Box routes and one general delivery route. This mix shows how USPS adapts to communities that straddle both geographic and administrative boundaries.
The community itself covers just 0.162 square miles of land. Census 2020 data recorded 13 occupied housing units, all owner-occupied. The median age is 43, and the population includes 31 white residents, 4 who identify as two or more races, and 5 from other racial categories. Five small businesses operate here, employing 65 people according to County Business Patterns data. The Postmaster building handles the facility's administrative functions.
Russell doesn't function as a traditional town center. It's a postal service point that happens to serve a wider geographic footprint than its official boundaries suggest. The proximity to Wisconsin's border and Kenosha's outlying areas explains why a post office serving 13 households maintains 61 boxes. Some of those boxes belong to local residents. Many don't.
Russell's postal records show just two streets with delivery points, reflecting the community's tiny footprint of 0.162 square miles. N Kilbourne Rd and W Ingram Dr account for only 5 street-based ZIP+4 records, while the facility's 61 PO Boxes handle the bulk of mail service.
ZIP Code 60075 has 40 residents and 13 households (average 3.08 persons per household). The median age is 43.0 years, older than the state (38.8) and older than the nation (38.8).
