Nellis Air Force Base occupies 21 square miles in Clark County, Nevada. This ZIP serves one of the U.S. Air Force's premier combat training centers, home to the USAF Warfare Center and the famous Red Flag exercises. With 658 residents and just 64 households, the PopToHouseholdRatio of 10.3 shows this isn't a typical residential community. It's a military installation.
Of the 658 people counted in the 2020 Census, 567 live in group quarters (barracks and dormitories). That's 86% of the base population. The median age of 20.8 years and the demographics tell the story: these are mostly young airmen in training or early in their careers. Only 10 housing units are owner-occupied, while 54 are rentals for personnel with families.
Mail delivery at Nellis works differently than civilian communities. The base post office maintains 109 PO Boxes and delivers to 587 street addresses across one city carrier route. Streets honor Air Force installations: Carswell Avenue (85 delivery points), Tyndall Avenue (80), Mountain Home Street (73), and Ellsworth Avenue (33). These names commemorate air bases, some active and some closed, across the nation.
Buildings receive mail through military unit designators rather than typical addressing. The ZIP+4 data lists 26 named facilities including the 57th Fighter Wing headquarters (57 FW/CC), the USAF Hospital Nellis, the Base Library, and numerous squadron offices. Mail is distributed through unit mailrooms that serve specific commands and support functions.
The base accepts mail under several names. "Nellis AFB" is the primary city name, but "Las Vegas" and "Indian Springs Air Force Aux" are also valid. ISAFA (Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary) was added as an alias in May 2005, though the auxiliary field has since been renamed Creech Air Force Base with its own ZIP code. Mail addressed to any of these names will reach the base post office.
This is classified as a PO Box ZIP, but that designation is outdated. Nellis has extensive street delivery infrastructure with 50 distinct street names and one city carrier route serving the entire installation. The PO Box classification reflects the postal system's historical setup, not current operations. Street delivery is the primary method for on-base personnel and facilities.
The base employs 1,777 people at 58 business establishments according to Census data. These aren't typical businesses but rather military support services: the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), dining facilities, the hospital, MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation), and contractor operations. The post office serves not just base residents but also the workforce that commutes from greater Las Vegas.
Education levels run high for a young population. Among adults, 46.6% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. This reflects Air Force commissioning and technical training standards. Per capita income of $27,286 aligns with junior enlisted and NCO pay grades. The nearby neighborhoods list shows the base's relationship to Sunrise Manor, the unincorporated Las Vegas suburb that borders the installation to the west.
Nellis sits just northeast of Las Vegas proper. N Las Vegas Boulevard and N Hollywood Boulevard appear in the street listing with only a few records each, marking the western edge where the base meets civilian territory. Most of the ZIP's 21 square miles consists of flight lines, ranges, and restricted areas not reflected in delivery point data.
Streets honor Air Force installations nationwide, both active and closed bases, creating a geographic roll call of U.S. military aviation history.
ZIP Code 89191 has 658 residents and 64 households (average 1.42 persons per household). The median age is 20.8 years, significantly younger than the state (38.6) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 79.8% male and 20.2% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (50.0%, much lower than the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (22.6%, much higher than the state average of 9.8% and well above the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 19.0%, which is much lower than the state average (28.7%), and Black or African American share is much higher than both the state (9.8%) and national averages (12.4%).
