Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 51 PO Boxes for just 24 local households, showing it serves surrounding communities beyond Lequire itself
  • This is a PO Box-only ZIP code with no street delivery available to residents
  • One rural carrier route covers the wider area, but box delivery handles all local mail
  • With 78 residents living in 24 occupied homes, the average household has 3.25 people
  • Only 6 delivery records reference street addresses, all tied to W Front St and the Postmaster building
  • Two businesses operate in this ZIP code, both using PO Box addresses for mail

Mail Delivery Infrastructure

The ZIP operates as a pure PO Box zone, with all mail routed through box delivery. While one rural carrier route serves the wider area, street delivery doesn't exist for the immediate community. W Front St appears in delivery records, but the infrastructure supports boxes rather than street routes. Two businesses maintain addresses here, both accessing mail through the PO Box system.

Community Demographics

The population reflects rural eastern Oklahoma demographics. Median age sits at 29.0 years, younger than typical retirement or resort communities. About 22 of 24 occupied housing units show regular use, with minimal seasonal vacancy. The household ratio of 3.25 people per home indicates extended family structures common in rural areas.

Regional Service Pattern

The post office functions as an anchor for an area that otherwise lacks concentrated infrastructure. With 32 total housing units scattered across rural routes, residents travel to Lequire for mail service. Median household income of $109,063 exceeds many rural Oklahoma communities, though the small sample size of just 6 reporting households makes this figure less reliable. Home values center around $94,300, reflecting affordable rural property typical of Haskell County.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Infrastructure

With only one street name appearing in postal records, Lequire's delivery infrastructure centers entirely on PO Box service rather than street routes. W Front St likely represents the post office location itself.
