Racine is a small unincorporated community in Newton County, Missouri, about 11 miles south of Joplin. With just 152 residents in 54 households, it's a quiet rural spot along Highway 86 near the Oklahoma border. Despite its size, the Racine post office maintains 101 PO Boxes, serving nearly twice as many mailboxes as there are local homes.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery here, so everyone picks up mail at the post office. The 1.87 PO Box adoption rate shows the facility serves people beyond the immediate community, likely including rural residents from surrounding Newton County who don't have carrier delivery at their homes.
Racine's population skews older, with a median age of 51.6 years. Only 4 residents are under 25. Most homes are owner-occupied (43 of 54 households), and the median home value sits at $266,400. About 46% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The small geographic footprint (just 0.12 square miles) confirms this is a crossroads community, not a sprawling rural township.
Street names are straightforward: W Highway 86 handles most addresses, with Wood Street, Oak Street, and Racine Street filling out the local grid. The post office building is the only named structure in the ZIP+4 records. For mail delivery, a PO Box at the Racine post office is the only option.
Street names reflect the highway corridor location and simple residential grid with tree-named streets.
