Wikieup sits along US Highway 93 in northwestern Arizona, covering 309 square miles of remote Mohave County high desert. With just 222 residents and a median age of 58, it's a sparse retirement community where vacation properties outnumber permanent homes. Of 199 total housing units, 81 (41%) are used seasonally or occasionally.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the entire territory. The Wikieup post office maintains 164 PO Boxes serving 95 occupied households, an adoption rate of 1.73. That's nearly two boxes per household because this post office also serves scattered ranches and properties across hundreds of square miles of surrounding BLM land and private holdings.
Mail delivery uses a mix of one city carrier route and one rural route, supplemented by general delivery service. Street names tell the story of this high desert landscape: Cholla Canyon Ranch Road, Granite Basin Road, and Upper Trout Creek Road branch off from Highway 93 into rugged terrain. Most delivery points cluster along the highway corridor, but the postal service area extends far beyond.
It's a quiet, older community. Median household income is $55,875, with a median home value of $143,800. About 60% of housing is older stock, and 65 mobile homes account for a third of all units. The working-age population is tiny. Just 18 people commute to jobs, with 7 driving alone and 5 carpooling. Transportation and warehousing employ 13 workers, likely serving highway traffic through this Joshua Tree Parkway corridor between Wickenburg and Kingman.
Street names branch from Highway 93 corridor into desert terrain, featuring ranch properties and geographic landmarks like Cholla Canyon and Granite Basin.
