This dramatic disparity isn't about local need. It reflects Ely's role as the commercial and postal hub for eastern Nevada's vast, sparsely populated terrain. Ranchers, miners, and residents from communities throughout the region collect mail here. Many come from areas without carrier delivery options, making the drive to Ely's post office a regular necessity.
The ZIP operates within the larger Ely postal ecosystem. ZIP 89301 provides street delivery to Ely's residential neighborhoods and businesses, while 89315 concentrates the region's PO Box services in one location. This arrangement allows the USPS to efficiently serve both the incorporated town and the scattered population across hundreds of square miles of Nevada rangeland.
With a median age of 36.5 and an average household size of 5.5 people, the small resident population skews toward working families. The area hosts 6 business establishments employing 31 people. Most mail activity, however, comes from the 611 box holders who travel to this facility from points across White Pine County and beyond.
No street delivery exists in this ZIP code. All mail service is provided exclusively through PO Boxes, with physical street delivery available through the adjacent ZIP 89301 that covers Ely's residential areas.
ZIP Code 89315 has 55 residents and 10 households (average 5.50 persons per household).

The gender split is 56.4% male and 43.6% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (85.5%, much higher than the state average of 51.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (20.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 20.0%, which is much lower than the state average (28.7%).
