The post office serves beyond Egypt's immediate 77 households. With 94 PO boxes for just 77 occupied homes, the adoption rate of 1.22 means the facility draws customers from surrounding rural areas where carrier delivery doesn't exist. That's typical for Texas farm country, where distances between houses make route delivery impractical. The lone rural carrier route covers the rest.
The single postal street—W FM 1161—is a farm-to-market road that likely connects scattered farmsteads. The absence of named streets reflects Egypt's agricultural character rather than traditional town layout.
