The numbers tell a clear story about rural mail service in East Texas. This ZIP code covers 1.62 square miles of land with no city carrier routes. Instead, it operates with one rural carrier route, three rural route records in the ZIP+4 database, and 15 PO Box route records. Only one street appears in the delivery infrastructure: US Highway 175 E, which has three ZIP+4 records. The post office building itself accounts for one additional named location in the system.
For the 26 occupied housing units in Poynor proper, street delivery does exist through rural carrier service. But the 91 PO Boxes serve a much larger geography. The population-to-household ratio of 3.27 reflects typical family sizes for rural Texas rather than anything unusual. The median age of 30.8 years suggests working families, and the median household income of $58,750 aligns with regional averages for Henderson County.
What makes this ZIP distinctive isn't demographic uniqueness but its service footprint. With no enclosing ZIP offering an alternative, Poynor functions as a postal anchor for scattered residences across eastern Henderson County. The post office maintains more than three times as many boxes as local households, quantifying exactly how far its regional reach extends. That's the reality of PO Box adoption in areas where rural routes can't economically serve every property with curbside or door delivery.
The delivery infrastructure centers entirely on US Highway 175 E, the main transportation corridor through this part of Henderson County. With just three street delivery records and one named building (the post office itself), the street-level postal data confirms this is primarily a PO Box service facility rather than a town with extensive residential street delivery.
ZIP Code 75782 has 85 residents and 26 households (average 3.27 persons per household). The median age is 30.8 years, younger than the state (35.6) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.6% male and 49.4% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (80.0%, much higher than the state average of 50.1% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (8.2%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 8.2%, which is much lower than the state average (39.3%).
