Thicket serves 407 residents across 3.1 square miles of Hardin County in southeast Texas. The post office maintains 194 PO Boxes for 171 households, giving it an adoption rate of 1.14. That means boxes serve not just local residents but also people from surrounding areas without carrier delivery.
This is a PO Box only zone. Residents can't get street delivery at their physical addresses. The community has one rural carrier route covering FM 1293, but delivery goes to roadside boxes rather than individual homes. Mail doesn't come to your door here. The median age is 45.1, and median household income sits at $48,070. Most homes were built decades ago, with a median value of $156,900.
The only street in the ZIP+4 database is FM 1293, a Farm to Market road typical of rural Texas. With just two delivery records, this reflects the extremely limited street infrastructure in this heavily forested area of southeast Texas.
