Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 60 PO Boxes but serves only 21 occupied households, with an adoption rate of 2.86 indicating significant regional service beyond the immediate area
  • This is a PO Box ZIP code where residents have no alternative mail delivery options available
  • Old Highway 1 is the only street with carrier service, with just 3 delivery records and no multi-unit buildings
  • The 75 residents live in extended family households averaging 3.57 people, well above the national average of 2.5
  • At 0.21 square miles, this is one of Louisiana's smallest ZIP code service areas, roughly equivalent to 134 acres
  • Six small businesses employ 35 people, suggesting most residents work outside the immediate area or are retired

Why So Many PO Boxes?

The post office maintains 60 PO Boxes for 21 occupied households. That's an adoption rate of 2.86, meaning the facility serves nearly three times as many boxes as local homes. This pattern appears throughout rural Louisiana parishes where low-lying terrain and waterways make street delivery impractical. Highway Contract Route 1 handles what limited carrier service exists, but for most people in the area, the PO Box isn't optional.

Delivery Infrastructure

Old Highway 1 is the only street with carrier service, accounting for three delivery records. The highway follows the historic route parallel to the Mississippi River, connecting small communities that predate modern road infrastructure. Most residents use the Hamburg post office address regardless of where they actually live.

Community Profile

The community shows characteristics typical of rural Louisiana: a median age of 48.3 years, extended family households averaging 3.57 people, and almost no commercial development beyond six small establishments employing 35 people. This isn't a growing area. It's a stable rural community where mail service adapted to geography rather than the other way around.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor Historic Route

The single street served is Old Highway 1, the historic route parallel to the Mississippi River that connected Louisiana river communities before modern highways. The 'Old' designation indicates this route was bypassed by newer infrastructure but remains the primary local road.
