Avalon sits in rural Ellis County where 208 residents share a post office that serves a wider delivery area. The facility maintains 109 PO Boxes for just 70 local households, meaning the adoption rate runs at 1.56—well above what local population alone would require. This happens because surrounding properties without carrier service rely on Avalon's post office as their mailing address.
The ZIP covers 0.019 square miles of incorporated area, but its postal reach extends far beyond town limits. Two rural carrier routes handle street delivery for scattered addresses along routes like E Main St and Hemphill St. Most delivery points use PO Boxes rather than waiting for rural carriers who cover dispersed territory. That's standard for Texas communities where ranches and farms sit miles apart.
The post office itself is a named delivery point in the ZIP+4 records, listed simply as "POSTMASTER." That's typical USPS nomenclature for facilities serving small towns. With only 10 businesses recorded in the area and a median household income of $50,536, this isn't a commercial hub. Median age sits at 39.7 years, and 53 of the 75 total housing units are owner-occupied homes.
Avalonites don't have city carrier delivery. The "Rural" delivery designation means mail reaches them via two distinct rural routes or through PO Box pickup. About 12% of workers here commute to jobs in retail trade, while 7 people work from home. The community's connection to the Metroplex area shows in nearby subdivisions like Youngblood Farm, just one mile north, though Avalon itself remains unincorporated rural territory.
Avalon's minimal street infrastructure reflects its tiny incorporated area. With just two named streets in ZIP+4 records, most delivery happens through PO Boxes or rural carrier routes that extend into surrounding Ellis County farmland. The named "POSTMASTER" building serves as the central mail facility.
ZIP Code 76623 has 208 residents and 70 households (average 2.97 persons per household). The median age is 39.7 years, older than the state (35.6) and about the same as the nation (38.8).

Largest groups are White (60.1%, much higher than the state average of 50.1%) and Hispanic or Latino (43.3%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 43.3%, which is much higher than the national average (18.7%).
