Mills sits just across the North Platte River from Casper, Wyoming's second-largest city. This small town of 1,861 residents occupies just over one square mile in Natrona County. Despite its compact size, the Mills post office maintains 1,539 PO Boxes for only 788 households. That's nearly twice as many boxes as homes.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the area. The high adoption rate shows Mills serves communities beyond its own borders, likely including rural areas and nearby unincorporated communities that lack their own postal infrastructure.
Mills has a working-class character. Median household income sits at $57,019, and the town centers on transportation and logistics. Of local workers, 755 are employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities. That's the dominant employment sector by far. The town sits along major highway corridors connecting Casper to the rest of Wyoming, which explains the transportation focus.
Street delivery exists on a mixed urban and rural pattern. SW Wyoming Boulevard carries 137 delivery records, the most of any street. W Yellowstone Highway has 41 records. The numbered grid (3rd Avenue, 4th Avenue, 5th Avenue) shows an established town layout, while streets like Poison Spider Road and Oregon Trail hint at Wyoming's frontier heritage.
Nearly a quarter of workers (23.7%) work from home, well above national averages. The median age of 35.3 suggests a working-age population rather than retirees. About 66% of housing units are owner-occupied, with median home values around $167,900. Mobile homes account for 320 of the housing units, typical for Wyoming working communities.
Street names mix a traditional numbered grid with Wyoming geographic and frontier references like Yellowstone Highway, Oregon Trail, and Poison Spider Road.
