Regional Postal Service

The adoption rate of 3.86 boxes per occupied household reveals this facility's role beyond Hematite itself. Neighbors from the broader enclosing ZIP 63028 area use these boxes when street delivery doesn't reach their properties. Rural carrier routes serve the handful of addresses along State Road P, but most mail flows through the box section. This pattern is common in unincorporated Missouri communities where a small post office anchors mail service for a wider rural area.
