The Reality of Rural Service

Alvadore's ZIP code handles 102 PO Boxes for a community that doesn't show up in census counts. This is a classic rural Oregon pattern: a post office serving scattered residents across Lane County's western edge.

The ZIP classification says PO Box only, but that's not quite right. Highway Contract Route 2 delivers mail to addresses along Railroad Street. One business has a street address. Most residents use PO Boxes because it's simpler when you're stopping at the post office anyway.

Geographic Context

This isn't an isolated community forced to use PO Boxes. It's a small postal facility with 102 boxes serving 15 businesses and surrounding households. The post office sits near Eugene's western boundary, where Highway 126 runs toward the Coast Range.

Street Name Patterns

Transportation Heritage

Just one street name tells the story: Railroad Street references the transportation corridor that likely brought the post office here. With only 2 delivery records, this confirms minimal street delivery in what's primarily a PO Box service community.
