Key Facts
  • This ZIP contains Honolulu's main postal processing facility, not a residential neighborhood
  • The 868 PO Boxes serve customers from across the Honolulu metro area, not local residents
  • All 49 'buildings' are actually departments within the postal facility: Bulk Mail Center, Passport Office, District Manager, and operations divisions
  • Only 16 people live here (likely on-site facility staff), with a median age of 22 reflecting the workforce rather than a residential community
  • The facility sits on 0.06 square miles near Honolulu International Airport, processing mail for Hawaii's largest city
  • Aolele Street's 175 delivery records represent internal department routing codes, not residential addresses

The Facility Itself

The facility sits on just 0.06 square miles near Honolulu International Airport. All 49 buildings listed in postal records are actually departments within the postal complex: the Bulk Mail Center, District Manager's office, Passport Office, Customer Service divisions, and engineering departments. What looks like a building count actually documents the administrative structure of Hawaii's largest mail facility.

Population and Housing

Only 16 people live here, producing a population-to-household ratio of 16.0. That's because this isn't housing. The single occupied household likely represents on-site facility management or security staff. The median age of 22 reflects postal workers and processing staff rather than traditional residents.

Address Structure

Aolele Street provides the only address for this complex. The 175 delivery records associated with this street aren't homes or apartments. They're internal routing codes for different postal departments: Human Resources, Maintenance Operations, Business Mail Entry, Distribution Operations, and Transportation Networks. Each department gets its own delivery designation within the facility.

Regional Service Function

The ZIP's classification as institutional doesn't mean university or prison. It means the population statistics reflect an operational facility rather than a residential community. Census data captures the few people who live on-site to maintain 24-hour operations at Hawaii's mail gateway.

This facility processes mail for the entire Honolulu metro area. The adoption rate of 868 boxes serving just one household shows regional function. People drive here from Kalihi, Moanalua, and Salt Lake to collect business mail, maintain PO Boxes for privacy, or receive packages that won't fit in apartment mailrooms. The post office serves the infrastructure needs of Hawaii's largest city.

Street Name Patterns

Single Facility Address Airport Proximity Administrative Routing

Aolele Street serves as the single address for Honolulu's main postal facility. The name means 'to fly' or 'flying' in Hawaiian, fitting for a location adjacent to the international airport. Rather than serving multiple households, this street address encompasses the entire postal operations complex with internal departmental routing.
