The numbers tell the story. The ZIP serves only 0.144 square miles of actual community, but those 160 boxes serve customers scattered across a much wider rural landscape. Three rural carrier routes fan out from the post office, delivering mail to farms and properties too dispersed for standard city delivery. Two streets appear in the postal database: State Highway 39 and Mesquite Road, both serving as connection points rather than dense residential corridors.
This is true PO Box-only territory. Residents here don't get street delivery to their homes — the post office box is the only option. That's different from many small towns where PO Boxes coexist with carrier routes. In Dibble, if you live here, you collect your mail at the post office.
The median household income sits at $51,250, with median age at 50.5 years. It's an older, stable rural population. No seasonal homes exist here, and no group quarters show up in census data. This isn't a resort or institutional community — just a small Oklahoma settlement that happens to anchor mail service for a dispersed rural region.
Neighbors aren't close. The nearest recognized neighborhoods are in Norman, 16-18 miles away: University, Larsh/Miller, and Old Silk Stocking districts. That distance underscores Dibble's role as a standalone rural service point rather than a suburb or satellite community. People come here specifically for the post office, not because they're passing through.
The street pattern reflects rural Oklahoma geography: a state highway serving as the main artery, with Mesquite Road representing typical sparse rural residential access. This isn't a town with a street grid — it's a highway corridor with scattered properties.
