Lacassine operates as a PO Box ZIP serving 452 residents across 176 households in rural Jefferson Davis Parish. The post office maintains 217 PO Boxes while providing limited street delivery through one rural route and two highway contract routes. This arrangement doesn't mean residents are required to use PO Boxes—the classification reflects how USPS organizes this particular ZIP code's delivery infrastructure rather than the community's only option.
The PO Box adoption rate of 1.23 indicates the post office serves households beyond Lacassine's immediate area, functioning as a mail hub for surrounding properties without direct carrier service. With a median household income of $28,537 and a median age of 35.8, the community maintains a working-age population in a rural setting where Highway 90 provides the primary transportation corridor. The ZIP covers less than one square mile but connects to broader delivery networks through highway contract routes.
The three streets in delivery records reflect a highway corridor community with minimal formal street infrastructure. Highway 90 serves as the primary artery, while Community Center Road and Main Street represent the core of local community organization. The extremely low street count confirms this is primarily a PO Box service area.
ZIP Code 70650 has 452 residents and 176 households (average 2.57 persons per household). The median age is 35.8 years, slightly younger than the state (38.1) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 39.2% male and 60.8% female, which is much lower than the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area.
