Metz is a tiny rural community in Vernon County, Missouri, with just 22 residents and 12 households spread across less than one-tenth of a square mile. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the community, making the Metz post office the only way residents can receive mail.
The post office maintains 8 PO Boxes for the 12 local households, giving an adoption rate of 67%. Two rural carrier routes serve addresses on streets like S Main St, W Walnut St, and E Osage St. With a median age of 43 and per capita income around $20,033, Metz is a working-class community where half the housing stock was built before 1939. Mobile homes account for 5 of the 14 total housing units.
Metz doesn't have any business establishments recorded in Census data. Mail addressed to Metz must use either a PO Box or a rural route address. The traditional grid of streets (Main, Walnut, Osage, Elm, and Petty) shows the bones of what was once a larger farm service community in western Missouri.
Street names follow a traditional small-town grid pattern with Main and Walnut Streets, plus Osage (likely referencing the Osage River) and Elm.
