Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 139 PO Boxes for a community of just 10 households, creating an adoption rate of 13.9 that signals this facility serves a much wider rural area.
  • Only one street appears in postal records—S FM 46—with a single delivery record, making this fundamentally a PO Box facility rather than a street delivery ZIP.
  • All 45 residents live in just 10 households, creating an unusually high household size of 4.5 people per home.
  • The ZIP operates as a MultiPoint geometry rather than having defined boundaries, meaning it represents specific delivery points rather than a continuous area.
  • Seventeen businesses maintain PO Boxes here despite minimal commercial establishments, reflecting agricultural operations and rural enterprises that use Wheelock for mail.
  • Nearby subdivisions in the Bryan-College Station metro area sit 2.7 to 4.8 miles away but have their own postal services, while families between these developments rely on Wheelock.

Small Population, Wide Service Area

The community recorded 45 residents in 2020, living across minimal land area since this ZIP operates as a MultiPoint geometry rather than a traditional boundary. Of these residents, 31 identify as White, 8 as multiracial, and 5 as two or more races, with 5 Hispanic residents representing 11% of the population. The median age sits at 32.5 years, younger than many rural Texas communities.

Limited Street Delivery

Rural Route 1 handles the limited street delivery available here. The ZIP's postal database lists just one street—S FM 46—with a single delivery record. That makes this fundamentally a PO Box facility, confirmed by the "P" classification and carrier route type marked as "C" for rural star route. The nearest neighborhoods with standard subdivision layouts sit several miles away in the Bryan-College Station metro area.

Why So Many PO Boxes?

Those 139 PO Boxes don't just serve Wheelock. The facility functions as the mail hub for Robertson County residents living along farm-to-market roads where rural carrier service isn't available. Nearby subdivisions like Hefti Subdivision and Shadow Creek Ranch, 2.7 to 3 miles away, have their own delivery systems, but families living between these developments rely on Wheelock's post office. The 17 businesses maintaining PO Boxes here reflect the agricultural operations and small enterprises scattered across the countryside.

Local Economic Profile

All 10 occupied households are owner-occupied, suggesting stability in the small resident population. Census data doesn't provide median income or home values due to the minimal sample size, but the community's employment base of 14 workers across 6 establishments indicates limited commercial activity within the ZIP itself. Most residents likely commute to Bryan-College Station, about 15 miles southwest, for work.

Street Name Patterns

Farm To Market Road Minimal Street Delivery

With just one street in postal records—S FM 46—Wheelock's delivery infrastructure centers entirely on its PO Box facility. Farm-to-market road naming reflects the agricultural character of Robertson County, where state-maintained rural highways connect scattered farms and ranches. The absence of a traditional street grid confirms this isn't a town center but rather a postal hub serving the countryside.
