Bloomington sits in Victoria County, Texas, about 2.5 square miles of rural territory where PO Boxes aren't just convenient but mandatory. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the community, so all 828 boxes at the post office serve the local population and surrounding areas.
The post office maintains 828 PO Boxes for 753 local households. That's 10% more boxes than homes, which means the service extends slightly beyond the immediate town to nearby rural addresses. Rural carrier routes handle limited delivery (just 30 ZIP+4 records across 2 routes), but the bulk of mail goes to boxes.
Bloomington retains character from another era. Of the 953 total housing units, 617 were built before 1939. That's 65% of the housing stock predating World War II. Street names like Market Street, Commerce Street, N Rail Street, and Hedges Street hint at the town's historic commercial and railroad roots. Newer additions like Hubbard Ranch Lane connect to the ranching economy that still defines rural Victoria County.
Nearly half the workforce (49.3%) works from home, an unusually high rate for a small Texas town. Transportation and warehousing employ a significant portion of residents (351 workers), along with educational services and healthcare (141 workers). The median household income of $37,140 and median home value of $132,300 point to a working-class community where affordability still exists.
With a median age of 35.6 years, Bloomington skews younger than typical rural Texas towns. The population of 2,246 lives in a mix of owner-occupied homes (463 units) and rentals (290 units). Only 30 homes are used seasonally, indicating this is primarily a year-round residential community rather than a vacation or second-home destination.
All mail to Bloomington addresses must use a PO Box. Street addressing is not available for mail delivery in this ZIP code.
Street names preserve the town's commercial and railroad history, with Market Street, Commerce Street, and N Rail Street alongside newer ranch-related names like Hubbard Ranch Lane.
ZIP Code 77951 has 2,246 residents and 753 households (average 2.98 persons per household). The median age is 35.6 years, about the same as the state (35.6) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.5% male and 49.5% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%). Largest groups are Hispanic or Latino (75.7%) and White (37.9%, much lower than the state average of 50.1% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 75.7%, which is much higher than the national average (18.7%), and Other / Two or More Races share is much higher than both the state (13.6%) and national averages (8.4%).
