Leming is a small rural community in Atascosa County, Texas, located just south of San Antonio. With 583 residents spread across less than one square mile, this unincorporated town operates as a regional mail hub for surrounding areas. The post office maintains 419 PO Boxes to serve 173 local households, creating a 2.42 adoption rate that shows the facility's reach extends well beyond Leming's town limits. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no carrier route street delivery available in the area.
The high PO Box count isn't driven by local demand alone. People from neighboring rural areas and unincorporated communities travel to Leming's post office because it's their designated mail access point. With only two rural carrier routes serving the immediate area, most residents and regional users rely on PO Boxes. The compact 0.94 square mile territory holds the town center, but the postal service area reaches much farther.
Leming sits within the San Antonio metropolitan orbit, about 4 miles from the Southside neighborhood and surrounded by communities like Somerset and Highland Oaks. Despite this proximity to a major city, the area maintains rural infrastructure. Transportation and logistics dominate local employment, with 198 workers in that sector plus another 75 in public administration. The median household income of $91,212 runs well above typical rural Texas communities, likely because many residents commute to San Antonio for work.
The population shows surprising diversity. Only 43.2% were born in the United States, pointing to a significant immigrant population. Households tend toward larger families, with a 3.37 people per household ratio. The community is young, with a median age of 32.9 years. Homeownership is strong at 83%, and median home values of $103,800 make housing relatively affordable compared to nearby San Antonio.
Street names in the small town center include San Antonio Avenue (connecting to the city to the north), along with Hackberry Street, Peach Street, and numbered streets like E 8th Street. US Highway 281 runs through the area, providing the main transportation corridor. With 27.4% of workers doing their jobs from home, Leming functions as both a bedroom community for San Antonio commuters and a standalone rural settlement.
Street names mix small-town simplicity (Peach Street, Hackberry Street) with regional connections (San Antonio Avenue, US Highway 281).
