This isn't inefficiency. It's evidence of cross-border and regional service patterns typical of South Texas postal hubs. With 79% of the area's 68 residents identifying as Hispanic, the ZIP serves families and businesses well beyond its tiny geographic footprint. Many box holders live in surrounding unincorporated areas where rural carrier routes (three serve this ZIP) deliver mail to roadside boxes, but recipients prefer the security and permanence of a physical post office address.
The median household income of $80,747 suggests working families, not retirees. Nursery Dr and McCormick Dr form the street network, along with one named building: the Postmaster facility itself. That building-centric delivery system supports not just local residents but workers, property owners, and businesses throughout the region who need a stable mailing address.
This pattern appears throughout the borderlands. Small communities become postal anchors for much larger service areas. The ZIP's classification as a PO Box-only zone reflects postal infrastructure reality: this is where people come to get their mail, whether they live a quarter-mile away or ten miles down a county road. The 17 businesses operating here likely include agricultural operations and services supporting the rural economy, where a Nursery post office box provides more reliability than a rural route address.
With just two streets recorded, Nursery represents a minimal rural settlement where the post office building itself is the primary delivery infrastructure. Street delivery exists but the vast majority of mail goes to PO Boxes serving a regional customer base.
