Woosung is a tiny rural community in Ogle County, Illinois, with just 93 residents across 52 households. The median age of 51.8 years and small household size of 1.8 people per home suggest an aging population of singles and couples. This isn't a growing town.
This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery across the compact 0.79 square mile territory. The Woosung post office maintains 37 PO Boxes for the 52 households, giving a 71% adoption rate. However, rural carrier routes do serve some homes directly (2 rural routes operate here), so not everyone requires a box. General Delivery is also available for those without a permanent address.
The housing stock tells the story of an old farming community. Of the 53 total housing units, 36 are mobile homes (68%). Another 36 homes were built before 1939. Homeownership is high: 43 of the 52 occupied homes are owner-occupied (83%), with just 9 renter-occupied units. One home sits vacant.
The street layout is minimal. Griswold Street is the main thoroughfare with 6 delivery points, including some apartments. Central Street, Canton Street, and six other streets make up the rest of the tiny grid. There are no business establishments or employees recorded in census data for this ZIP code. The population is 96% White (89 residents), with 17% identifying as Hispanic (16 residents).
