Iroquois is a small rural village in eastern Illinois, just west of the Indiana border. With 133 residents spread across 70 households, it's a compact community of 0.57 square miles in Iroquois County. The median age of 53.3 years indicates an older, established population.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists. The Iroquois post office maintains exactly 70 PO Boxes, matching the number of local households perfectly. This one-to-one ratio means every household relies on a PO Box for mail. While the ZIP includes two rural carrier routes serving 56 street delivery points, the designation as a PO Box Only Zone means residents in the immediate area must use boxes.
The village has a traditional grid layout with directional naming: Main Street runs north-south through the center, while Lincoln Avenue runs east-west. Other streets carry names like Church Avenue, School, and Walnut Avenue. These simple names point to an early 20th-century Midwest town pattern.
Nearly half the local workforce (48%) is employed in transportation, warehousing, or utilities. That's an unusually high concentration, likely indicating proximity to rail lines or highway corridors. With a median household income of $54,250 and median home values of $95,000, Iroquois is a working-class community. Only 7.4% of adults hold bachelor's degrees. The housing stock skews old: 106 of the area's housing units were built before 1939.
The population is 94% White, with 20% identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Homeownership is strong. Of the 70 occupied homes, 57 are owner-occupied (81%). There are 15 business delivery points in the ZIP, and seven business establishments employ 34 people locally.
