Aroma Park is a small village in Kankakee County, Illinois, with 524 residents spread across just half a square mile. This isn't a bedroom community with typical suburban mail delivery. It's a PO Box Only Zone, meaning the 255 PO Boxes at the post office are the only way to receive mail across the village's compact territory.
The post office maintains more boxes than households (255 boxes for 218 homes), with an adoption rate of 117%. That extra capacity serves the village's 50 business delivery points and surrounding rural addresses. Mail reaches residents through two rural carrier routes rather than typical city delivery, fitting the community's small-town character.
Aroma Park's street grid follows a classic Illinois village pattern. Numbered streets (1st through 8th) intersect with Bridge Street, Mill Street, and Front Street. The names point to 19th-century riverfront origins, though today the village is primarily residential with a median home value of $141,400.
The local economy stands out for one reason: transportation and warehousing workers. In a village of 524 people, 237 workers are employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities. That's an unusually high concentration, likely because Aroma Park sits within the Kankakee area's logistics corridor along Interstate 57. Many residents commute to nearby distribution centers and freight operations.
With a median age of 41.4 years and a household income of $69,375, this is a working-class community. About 23% of workers now work from home, higher than many small towns. The village has 11 business establishments employing 87 people locally, a modest commercial base for a population just over 500.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box. Street delivery is not available in this ZIP code. The post office is the central mail distribution point for the entire village.
Street names follow a classic Illinois village pattern with numbered streets (1st through 8th) and historic names like Bridge, Mill, and Front that point to 19th-century riverfront origins.
