The postal infrastructure here isn't about serving a traditional town. Wake Island has just one street in the ZIP+4 database: Wake Isle. That single street record reflects the limited scope of delivery operations. The facility maintains both rural route and PO Box delivery, though the distinction matters less on an island measuring less than 0.001 square miles. When your entire service area fits inside most shopping mall parking lots, conventional delivery patterns don't apply.
This ZIP code doesn't have census data because there's no permanent residential population to count. The island's residents are there for work assignments, not as permanent residents. That transient nature shapes everything about how mail service works. People here need reliable postal connections to the mainland, but they're not filing change-of-address forms when they leave or establishing long-term PO Box rentals for vacation homes.
With just one street in the postal database, Wake Island represents the extreme end of ZIP code minimalism. The single street record reflects a facility-based outpost rather than a conventional community.
ZIP Code 96898 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
