Fort Hall's post office serves as the central communications hub for the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, where 87 residents across this small community rely on a system built for 392 PO Boxes. That's 28 times more boxes than local households, reflecting the post office's role as a regional service center for surrounding tribal lands.
The numbers tell a story of community structure different from typical American towns. With 87 people living in just 14 occupied homes, the population-to-household ratio of 6.2 suggests extended family living patterns common in Native American communities. Nearly 79% of residents identify as Native American, making this one of Idaho's concentrated tribal population centers.
This isn't a case of residents being forced into PO Box service. Fort Hall has street delivery available through rural carrier routes that serve the Trading Post Complex and surrounding areas. But the post office maintains its central role because it serves far beyond this immediate area. The facility in Pocatello processes mail for this ZIP, but the Fort Hall designation remains meaningful to tribal identity and community connection.
At 0.44 square miles of land area, this is one of the smallest ZIP codes in the region, yet it functions as a gateway to the broader reservation. The single named building in postal records is the United States Postal Service facility itself, which anchors a community where traditional mail service connects families across multiple households and generations. The median age of 34.8 years shows a younger population than Idaho's average, with multiple generations sharing both homes and heritage.
The single street name in postal records, Trading Post Complex, reflects the commercial and cultural center of tribal community life. This isn't a traditional street grid but rather a destination-based addressing system centered on the tribal trading post that serves as both commercial hub and community gathering point.
ZIP Code 83203 has 87 residents and 14 households (average 3.00 persons per household). The median age is 34.8 years, slightly younger than the state (36.8) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 63.2% male and 36.8% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (79.3%, much higher than the state average of 1.4% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and Hispanic or Latino (14.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 14.9%, which is lower than the national average (18.7%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (1.4%) and national averages (1.1%).
