Keiser sits in the flat agricultural land of Mississippi County in northeast Arkansas, about 15 miles from the Tennessee border. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery anywhere in the area. With 262 PO Boxes serving 296 households, about 88% of homes depend entirely on mail pickup at the post office.
The town itself covers just a quarter square mile, but the postal footprint extends into the surrounding farmland through one rural route and one highway contract route. Main Street runs through the center of town, with Elm Street and Senter Avenue making up the rest of the small street grid. The post office handles mail for 784 residents.
Keiser has the feel of a working agricultural community. Nearly all residents (97.4%) were born in the United States, and the median age of 35.7 years suggests families with children rather than retirees. Transportation work dominates local employment, with 184 workers in that sector. Almost 20% of workers do their jobs from home. Median household income sits at $53,053, and homes sell for around $129,500.
With only 4 business establishments employing 25 people locally, most residents commute elsewhere for work. The nearest named neighborhoods are all in the Memphis metro area, about 15 miles south across the state line. For mail, though, everything runs through the Keiser post office.
A simple small-town street grid with Main, Elm, and Senter making up the core addresses.
