Perry's post office serves far more than its 48 local residents. With 85 PO boxes for just 14 households, the adoption rate of 6.07 indicates this facility functions as a regional mail hub for surrounding areas. This isn't unusual for rural Louisiana, where communities without carrier delivery rely on nearby post offices.
The ZIP code itself covers only 0.006 square miles, making it one of the smallest postal zones in Vermilion Parish. Hare Street is the sole named street in the postal database, with just two delivery records. The tiny geographic footprint doesn't reflect the post office's actual service area, which extends to residents across multiple unincorporated areas who maintain boxes here.
Of the 48 residents counted in the 2020 census, the median age is 34.5 years. The community is 79.5% white, with 8 residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino. All 14 households are occupied year-round, and there are no seasonal vacation properties. Median household income is $11,736, well below Louisiana's state average.
The post office operates as the primary mailing address for residents who live beyond the reach of highway contract routes. Two highway routes serve the immediate area, but the high ratio of boxes to households shows the facility's importance to a broader rural population. This pattern is common in south-central Louisiana, where historic settlement patterns and scattered development make centralized PO box service more practical than extending carrier routes.
Only one street name appears in postal records. Hare Street has two delivery records, likely serving the post office itself and one named building. This minimal street infrastructure reflects Perry's role as a postal service point rather than a developed residential area.
ZIP Code 70575 has 48 residents and 14 households (average 3.43 persons per household). The median age is 34.5 years, younger than the state (38.1) and younger than the nation (38.8).

Largest groups are White (64.6%, much higher than the state average of 57.1%) and Asian (18.8%, much higher than the state average of 1.9% and well above the national average of 6.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 10.4%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and Asian share is much higher than both the state (1.9%) and national averages (6.0%).
