McGill is a small mining community in White Pine County, Nevada, about 150 miles northwest of Great Basin National Park. The town's 1,035 residents live in one of Nevada's oldest settlements, with 95% of housing built before 1939. This historic character defines McGill's compact grid of numbered streets (First through Seventh) and lettered avenues (Avenue A through R).
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery available across the 31.7 square mile area. The McGill post office maintains 530 PO Boxes for 456 local households, but the box count exceeds local homes because it also serves surrounding areas. With a PO Box adoption rate of 1.16, about 16% of boxes go to people living outside the immediate town. One rural route and one highway contract route handle what limited delivery exists.
McGill sits in Nevada's high desert at roughly 6,200 feet elevation. The median age of 45.4 years and median household income of $50,446 indicate a working-class community. About 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and median home values of $96,300 make this one of Nevada's more affordable towns. The population is 82% White and 15% Hispanic, with very small percentages of other groups.
The post office recognizes "Steptoe" as an alias for the area, though it isn't valid for mailing addresses. All mail must use McGill, NV 89318.
