Mail delivery here works through a building-based system rather than traditional carrier routes. The ZIP contains just one highway route (Highway 365) with two delivery points, plus a single named building in the postal records: POSTMASTER. That's the extent of the street delivery infrastructure. The 58 PO Boxes maintained at this location serve staff, administrative offices, or other facility needs rather than a residential population.
This small ZIP covers only 0.171 square miles of land area in Pulaski County, completely enclosed within the larger ZIP code 72206. There's no city carrier delivery, no rural routes, and no residential neighborhoods. The postal classification reflects the reality: this is a PO Box ZIP serving an institutional population.
The facility sits about 7 miles from Little Rock neighborhoods like Upper Baseline and College Station, but it operates as a self-contained entity. Highway 365 provides the only street address in the entire ZIP code. For the 18 businesses and three establishments recorded here, mail comes through institutional channels rather than traditional residential delivery. The demographics tell the story clearly: 505 people identified as white, 355 as Black or African American, with small numbers from other racial groups. That population breakdown, combined with the median age and the overwhelming institutional housing numbers, shows this ZIP exists to serve one primary function.
The single street in this ZIP is Highway 365, which provides the only vehicular access to the correctional facility. With just two delivery records, this reflects minimal street-based mail service focused on institutional delivery rather than residential routes.
