Newcastle sits in southwestern Utah's Iron County, a small community of 447 residents spread across 38 square miles of high desert terrain. The post office here handles mail for more than just local households. With 221 PO Boxes serving only 122 occupied homes, the Newcastle post office functions as a regional mail access point for surrounding ranches and rural properties that lack street delivery.
The town's street grid follows the classic Mormon settlement pattern. Streets like N Main St, W 300 S, and S 100 W use the directional numbering system common throughout Utah's LDS-founded communities. USPS also recognizes "Pinto" as an alias for this ZIP code, though it isn't valid for mailing. This likely references the nearby Pinto area that shares postal service through Newcastle.
Rural carrier routes handle street delivery here. Two distinct rural routes serve the area, meaning residents can choose between a PO Box at the Newcastle post office or rural mail delivery to their homes. About 12% of housing units sit vacant for seasonal use, suggesting some vacation or second-home presence in the area.
Demographics point to a working, family-oriented community. Median age is 30.8 years, and household size averages 3.66 people, higher than the national norm. Two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied. Per capita income runs $27,970, and the median home value is $218,800. Nearly three-quarters of housing stock dates to before 1939, making this one of the older building inventories in rural Utah. All residents were born in the United States.
Street names follow the traditional Utah Mormon grid system with directional numbering, plus rural roads like S Bench Rd.
