New Memphis is a small rural community in Clinton County, Illinois, with a population of 248 residents across 81 households. The village covers 1.14 square miles of rolling farmland in southwestern Illinois, about 30 miles east of St. Louis. This isn't just a PO Box ZIP. Two rural carrier routes serve homes along numbered streets (S 2nd St, N 4th St) and rural roads like Church Rd and Fox Ridge Ln.
The post office maintains 87 PO Boxes for 81 households, a 1.07 adoption rate that indicates service extends slightly beyond the village. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no carrier delivery within the village itself. Residents receive mail via rural routes originating from nearby communities or pick up at the post office. The pattern is typical for small Illinois farm towns where scattered settlement makes door-to-door delivery impractical.
New Memphis has a classic Midwestern small-town character. Streets are laid out in a numbered grid (2nd, 3rd, 4th) with tree names (Cherry St, Walnut St, Maple Ln). The median age of 35.5 suggests a working-age population rather than retirees. With 89% of households owning rather than renting (72 of 81 homes), this is a stable, long-term community. The 4 businesses employ 28 people, indicating residents likely commute to larger employers in Belleville (7.7 miles), Scott Air Force Base (8.5 miles), or O'Fallon (9.5 miles).
Census data shows limited sampling for American Community Survey data due to the small population. What's available: 100% of residents were born in the United States, zero bachelor's degrees among the 29 adults surveyed, and work sectors split between agriculture (12%), accommodation/food service (17%), and transportation (17%). The village has 113 homes built before 1939, which seems impossibly high for 91 total housing units. That's likely a data artifact from Census block aggregation that includes surrounding rural areas.
