Huntington sits in central Utah's Emery County, a small town serving as the postal hub for 404 square miles of rural territory. With 2,358 residents and 864 households, this community maintains 990 PO Boxes at its post office. That's 1.15 boxes per household, meaning the post office serves not just local residents but people from surrounding areas within this vast territory.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the entire 404 square mile area. Rural carrier routes deliver to 322 addresses along 74 different streets and roads, but the majority of the population relies on PO Boxes for mail access. The post office stands as the primary mail distribution point for a geographically isolated region.
Street names tell the story of rural Utah. Main Street anchors the town center with its numbered grid (N 200 W, S 180 E, W 400 N). Beyond town, roads like Bear Canyon Road, Huntington Canyon, Trail Canyon Road, and Deer Creek Road wind into the surrounding terrain. State Roads 10, 31, and 155 connect the area to the broader region. Lawrence Road appears frequently in the addressing system, referencing the community of Lawrence, which shares this ZIP code but isn't a valid mailing name on its own.
Transportation dominates the local economy in an unusual way. Of the employed population, 1,108 workers are in transportation, warehousing, and utilities. That's an exceptionally high proportion for a town this size, suggesting major employers in mining, coal transport, or utility infrastructure. Another 22.7% of workers work from home, well above the national average. The median household income of $79,489 and median home value of $199,600 indicate a working-class community with stable employment.
The population is predominantly white (2,134 of 2,358 residents, or 90.5%), with a median age of 36.8 years. Homeownership is strong: 655 owner-occupied homes versus 209 rentals. Seasonal vacancy is minimal (20 of 967 housing units), confirming this is a year-round community, not a vacation destination.
Mail to Huntington must use the city name "HUNTINGTON, UT 84528." Although Lawrence appears as a recognized community name in the postal database, it isn't accepted for mailing addresses. PO Box addressing is standard for most residents. Street addresses exist for rural route delivery, but the PO Box system remains the backbone of mail service across this expansive rural area.
Street names combine a traditional numbered grid in the town center with rural roads named for geographic features (Bear Canyon, Huntington Canyon, Trail Canyon, Deer Creek) and state highway corridors.
ZIP Code 84528 has 2,358 residents and 864 households (average 2.72 persons per household). The median age is 36.8 years, older than the state (31.3) and slightly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.7% male and 49.3% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (90.5%, much higher than the state average of 78.7% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (7.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 7.9%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
