Irvington is a small rural community in Washington County, Illinois, covering 2.3 square miles. The village has 564 residents across 240 households. This is officially designated as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery method available to residents or businesses.
The Irvington post office maintains 246 PO Boxes, nearly matching the town's 240 households one-to-one. Despite the PO Box classification, the community does have rural carrier delivery service along 2 rural routes covering 28 streets. The numbered grid pattern (1st through 7th Streets) and named streets like Huron, Superior, and Western Avenue form the delivery network for this established small town.
With a median age of 44.3 years and median household income of $70,556, Irvington is a working-class community. Home values median at $89,500. About 22% of workers work from home, and the area supports 9 business establishments employing 56 people locally.
Street addresses exist here and mail gets delivered via rural carrier routes. But the PO Box Only Zone designation means residents can't use general delivery or choose between street and PO Box service. The post office serves as the sole mail access point for this compact Washington County village.
Street names follow a numbered grid pattern with Great Lakes names like Huron and Superior, typical of established Midwest small towns.
