Logan is a small Franklin County community in southern Illinois with a population of 332 residents. This ZIP was classified as PO Box-only before October 2004, and it's officially designated as a PO Box Only Delivery Zone. That means there's no alternative mail delivery across the 0.94 square mile territory. The post office maintains 101 PO Boxes for 147 households, meaning about 69% of homes rely on PO Boxes for mail.
Despite the PO Box classification, the area does have limited rural carrier delivery service. Two rural routes (R001 and R002) cover 86 delivery points across 16 streets. Main Street, 1st East Street, and Morgan Street each have 12 delivery addresses, forming the core of this small town. The street grid includes classic names like Jackson, Washington, Union, and Division, typical of 19th-century Midwestern town planning.
Logan's economy centers on transportation and warehousing. With 118 workers in this sector out of a small workforce, it likely serves as a bedroom community for nearby distribution centers or logistics operations. Median household income is $59,500, and the median home value is $56,100. The population skews middle-aged, with a median age of 46.3 years. Educational attainment is low: just 3.7% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher.
The community has an alternative name: Hanaford. This alias appears in USPS records but isn't valid for mailing. It's recognized historically but mail sent to "Hanaford, IL" won't be delivered. All mail must use Logan as the city name. The area has minimal business infrastructure, with zero registered business establishments in Census data and just 5 business delivery points at the post office.
Classic Midwestern small-town street grid with numbered streets (1st East, 1st South) and presidential/historical names (Jackson, Washington, Morgan).
