Atlanta, Nebraska (ZIP 68923) is a small village in Phelps County with just 106 residents and 43 occupied homes. Despite being classified as a PO Box ZIP, it doesn't actually have any PO Boxes. All mail is delivered via a single rural route serving the 49 single-family homes across 0.69 square miles.
The community has a complicated identity. USPS recognizes four different names for this area: Atlanta (the primary name), Industry, Rock Falls, and Industry Rock Falls. These names trace back to separate settlements that now share mail service. Industry and Rock Falls aren't valid mailing addresses, but the post office still recognizes them historically.
This is an aging rural community with deep roots. Of the 53 total housing units, 50 were built before 1939. That's 94% of the housing stock predating World War II. The median age of 40.5 years is younger than you'd expect given the historic character, suggesting some families have stayed across generations. With 34 owner-occupied and just 9 renter-occupied homes, most residents own their property.
Median household income sits at $70,417, well above the typical small Nebraska farm town. Transportation and warehousing employ 49 workers (a large share of the workforce), pointing to logistics or distribution work in the broader region. Another 14 work in educational services or healthcare. Just 2 people work from home (19.8% of workers), and 6 work in agriculture. The community isn't farming-dependent like many rural Nebraska ZIPs.
With a median home value of $118,800, housing remains affordable compared to urban Nebraska. The 10 vacant homes (19% vacancy rate) aren't seasonal properties. They're likely tied to the area's gradual population decline, common in Great Plains villages. This isn't a PO Box Only Zone, so residents could theoretically receive street delivery from nearby towns if service patterns changed.
Ten named streets serve just 49 homes, suggesting a once-larger town that has contracted over time.
ZIP Code 68923 has 106 residents and 43 households (average 2.47 persons per household). The median age is 40.5 years, older than the state (36.9) and slightly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 53.8% male and 46.2% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (91.5%, much higher than the state average of 78.4% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (4.7%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 4.7%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
