ZIP code 77342 in Huntsville, Texas serves as a business-focused postal facility rather than a residential community. With just 23 residents and 3 occupied housing units within its boundaries, this isn't a traditional neighborhood. Instead, it functions as a commercial mail hub maintaining 605 PO Boxes and serving 271 business delivery points.
The extreme PO Box adoption rate tells the story. There are 202 PO Boxes for every household in the ZCTA. This ratio doesn't indicate a residential community relying on PO Boxes. It shows a commercial zone where businesses, organizations, and individuals from across the Huntsville area maintain boxes for mail separation, privacy, or business operations.
Mail delivery within 77342 centers on a single location: 10th Street. All 149 street delivery records share this address with unit designators, pointing to a multi-tenant facility or post office with business window service. The ZIP's point geometry (no defined territory) confirms it operates as a facility-based location rather than a geographic area. Street delivery for the broader Huntsville community is available through the standard ZIP code 77320.
With 13 business establishments employing 60 workers, the minimal residential presence (median age 41.5) likely consists of postal employees or building staff. Walker County's prison system and Sam Houston State University drive Huntsville's economy, and this PO Box ZIP serves the business infrastructure supporting those institutions.
Only one street address exists in the ZIP+4 data: 10th Street with 149 unit-based records, confirming a centralized facility model.
