Bardolph is a small village in McDonough County, Illinois, where all 210 residents receive mail through PO Boxes or a single rural carrier route. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no city carrier delivery available, making the post office the primary mail access point for the community.
The village maintains 85 PO Boxes serving 84 occupied households. That's a 1.012 adoption rate, meaning nearly every household plus a few surrounding addresses rely on the Bardolph post office. The single rural route (R001) handles the remaining deliveries to homes that don't use PO Boxes.
Bardolph's street grid uses tree and nature names: W Spruce St (11 delivery points), S Chestnut St (7 points), N Hanna St (7 points), and S Jackson St (6 points). A few streets like W Spruce St and S Broadway St include apartment units. The compact footprint spans just 0.54 square miles, making it easy to walk to the post office from anywhere in town.
The population is 210 people in 84 households. That's a 2.5 people-per-household ratio, typical of family structure in small Illinois towns. Median age is 40.4 years. About 97% of residents are white, with 11% identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Homeownership is strong at 87% (73 owner-occupied units out of 84 occupied homes).
Median household income is $26,111, below the national average. Per capita income is $22,568. Only 10.3% of adults hold bachelor's degrees. The economy leans industrial: 76 workers are in transportation/warehousing/utilities (the largest sector), 21 in accommodation/food service, and 18 in education/healthcare. About 15% work from home. Commuting patterns vary: 11 drive alone, 17 carpool, and 51 use public transportation (likely referring to work-related transport).
Housing is affordable. Median home value is $49,200. Most housing stock is old: 152 of the units were built before 1939, giving Bardolph a historic small-town character. There are 21 mobile homes. Vacancy rate is 26% (30 vacant units out of 114 total), which is high but not unusual for aging rural communities.
The post office opened before October 2004 (tracking began then). The facility code is "P" (Post Office), and it doesn't offer city carrier delivery. All mail goes through PO Boxes or the rural route. There are no business establishments recorded in Census data, and only 4 business delivery points exist at the post office.
