Saint Libory is a compact village in St. Clair County, Illinois, about 10 miles from Belleville. The post office serves 638 residents across less than one square mile of incorporated territory. Despite the PO Box classification, mail here doesn't arrive exclusively by boxes. Two rural routes serve the surrounding area, while the post office maintains 279 PO Boxes for a mix of local residents and nearby farms.
This is designated as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no city carrier delivery within the village itself. Rural routes handle delivery to addresses outside the village boundaries. The adoption rate of 1.04 (279 boxes for 269 households) shows the post office serves slightly beyond its immediate population, typical for a small rural community where surrounding farms and residences use the village as their mailing address.
Street names preserve the village's German Catholic heritage. Darmstadt Street honors the German city, while Saint Libory, Saint Charles, and Saint Peter reference the community's religious roots. The main corridor, State Route 15, has 19 delivery records including some apartments. Other primary streets include Sparta Street (13 records), Lincoln Street (11 records), and Roosevelt Street.
With a median household income of $113,167 and median home value of $168,800, Saint Libory is an affluent small community. Most residents (27%) work from home, and public transit use is high for a rural area (68 workers). The community is 96% White, with 14% Hispanic residents. Median age is 43.6 years, indicating an established working-age population rather than retirees or young families.
The village has 23 business establishments employing 199 people, suggesting a small commercial district. With only 269 occupied homes and 26 vacant units (1% seasonal), this is a stable year-round community with minimal vacation properties.
