Island Territory Status

No census data exists for this ZIP code, reflecting its status as a U.S. territory location with different reporting requirements. The Marshall Islands became a sovereign nation in 1986 but maintains postal service through the United States Postal Service. Ebeye serves as an important population center in Kwajalein Atoll, though the ZIP code's official records show zero population—a data artifact common to certain Pacific island ZIP codes.

Highway Route Service

The highway route designation means mail delivery follows a major road pattern rather than traditional city-style carrier routes. For island communities, this often translates to a single main road or postal route serving the entire inhabited area. The post office itself becomes the central point for nearly all mail transactions, with the vast majority of customers maintaining PO Boxes.

Street Name Patterns

Single Street

Just one street name exists in postal records—Ebeye Town—reflecting the island's compact geography where centralized PO Box service handles virtually all mail.
