The numbers tell the story. With only 4 residents counted in the 2020 census and a median age of 53, Crowville itself barely registers as a residential community. Yet 25 businesses operate here, and the post office manages 7 ZIP+4 records covering Highway 17 and named buildings. The single street with carrier service is Highway 17, which has 2 delivery points. There's also highway contract route service, making this a Highway delivery type ZIP.
This isn't a PO Box-only zone in the traditional sense. While street delivery exists along Highway 17, the overwhelming adoption rate suggests Crowville functions as a mailing address hub for a dispersed population. The post office serves people who live elsewhere but need a stable mailing location. Rural residents without carrier delivery, seasonal workers, or those who prefer centralized mail pickup all contribute to the demand.
The physical footprint is tiny at 0.042 square miles of land area with no water features. Franklin Parish, Louisiana provides the setting, where small unincorporated communities often serve regional functions. The post office occupies the POSTMASTER building, one of two named facilities in the ZIP+4 directory. Highway 17 runs through, connecting this service point to surrounding areas that generate the mailbox demand.
The single street record, Highway 17, defines this as a highway corridor community rather than a traditional town layout. The highway provides the only carrier route, connecting the post office to its regional service area.
