Dingle sits in southeastern Idaho's Bear Lake County, a small community of 84 residents where seasonal recreation drives the postal system. The post office maintains 73 PO Boxes for just 24 year-round households. That's a 3.04 adoption rate, meaning the office serves three times as many boxes as local homes.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the territory. The Dingle office operates one city carrier route and one rural route, but the high box count tells a different story. Seasonal residents, vacation property owners, and visitors from surrounding areas all rely on this post office.
One-third of Dingle's 45 housing units sit vacant for seasonal use (15 homes). These aren't abandoned properties. They're vacation homes near Bear Lake, where summer visitors and winter recreationists maintain year-round PO Boxes even when they aren't in residence. Combined with the area's 11.4 square miles of water, this points to a lake recreation community rather than a traditional town.
The year-round population skews older (median age 41) and entirely owner-occupied. All 24 occupied homes are owned, not rented. Every resident was born in the United States. The rural character shows in the street pattern: Dingle Road carries the most delivery points (15 records), followed by rural routes like Cemetery Road and Horse Channel Road. These aren't suburban subdivisions. They're spread-out properties serving a small permanent population and a larger seasonal one.
Mail addressed to Dingle, ID 83233 goes to the post office serving this PO Box Only Zone. Most residents and seasonal property owners use PO Box addresses. Limited street delivery exists on designated routes, but with 73 boxes for 24 households, the PO Box system handles the majority of mail for both year-round residents and the seasonal community.
Street names reflect rural settlement with main roads and minimal grid development.
ZIP Code 83233 has 84 residents and 24 households (average 3.50 persons per household). The median age is 41.0 years, older than the state (36.8) and slightly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 47.6% male and 52.4% female, which is slightly lower than the state male share (50.0%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (98.8%, much higher than the state average of 82.1% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (1.2%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 1.2%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
