Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 124 PO Boxes to serve just 2 occupied households, a 62-to-1 ratio driven by seasonal property owners and businesses
  • Of 12 total housing units, 10 (83%) are classified as seasonal or recreational, among the highest vacation property concentrations in Idaho
  • Only 3 people officially live in the ZIP, but 164 employees work at 6 businesses here, showing this is a commercial resort zone
  • The ZIP code covers just 0.02 square miles with no street delivery service—everyone uses PO Boxes regardless of property value
  • Sun Valley sits in Blaine County at coordinates 43.68°N, 114.33°W, physically enclosed within the larger 83353 ZIP code
  • The single street address (800 W) contains 16 delivery records with units, likely a commercial or multi-tenant building serving the resort

Why So Many PO Boxes?

This isn't a quirk of bad data. It's how wealthy seasonal communities handle mail. Of the 12 total housing units in the ZIP, 10 sit vacant most of the year, designated as seasonal or recreational properties. These second-home owners need year-round mailboxes even when they're skiing in Aspen or summering in the Hamptons. Property managers, caretakers, and estate services also maintain boxes to handle bills and deliveries during the off-season.

Employment vs. Residency

The ZIP's population of 3 people and median age of 35.5 years tells only part of the story. The real action happens at 800 W, where 16 delivery records indicate a concentration of units or businesses. Six businesses operate here, employing 164 people according to establishment data. That employment figure dwarfs the residential population by more than 50-to-1, confirming this is fundamentally a commercial resort zone with minimal permanent residency.

The Postal System

Sun Valley's postal infrastructure reflects the logistics of serving transient wealth rather than a traditional community. The post office doesn't deliver to streets. Everyone uses PO Boxes, whether they're full-time residents, seasonal property owners, or the service businesses that cater to them. In resort economies, a PO Box isn't a fallback option. It's the premium solution for people who own property but don't actually live there.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Infrastructure Single Commercial Concentration

With only one street address in the entire ZIP code database (800 W), this area has virtually no traditional street delivery infrastructure. The single address with 16 records and unit designations suggests a commercial building or condominium complex serving the resort economy rather than a residential neighborhood layout.
