The numbers tell the story of geographic isolation. Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area covers some of Alaska's most remote terrain, and Anvik's ZIP code stretches across both land and water in a region where roads don't connect to larger highway systems. There's one documented street in the USPS database: Main Street. That single street has carrier delivery, but the community maintains six PO Boxes for residents who need them. The PO Box adoption rate of 0.29 means that while most households receive mail through the rural carrier route, a significant portion still relies on post office boxes.
Households here average 3.3 people, higher than the national figure of 2.5. That pattern appears frequently in Alaska Native villages where extended families share homes. The median age of 38 years reflects a community with working-age adults and children, not the aging pattern seen in many rural areas of the Lower 48. Only 21 occupied housing units serve the population of 70, and those homes are valued at figures the American Community Survey can't report due to small sample sizes.
The post office in Anvik isn't just a place to pick up mail. It's one of three business establishments in the entire ZIP code, employing seven people according to Census business pattern data. For a community of 70, that makes the postal facility a major employer. The median household income of $64,028 sits above the national poverty line, supported in part by subsistence activities, seasonal work, and government employment. Two people work from home, and 33 residents participate in the labor force out of a working-age population that faces limited local employment options.
Anvik's mail system uses Route R (Rural) and Route G (General Delivery) designations. The rural route serves Main Street and surrounding areas, while general delivery handles mail for residents without specific street addresses. This dual system reflects the reality of Alaska village life, where Western-style addressing systems don't always match how people actually live and receive services. The post office opened before October 2004 in USPS records, though the community itself has existed along the Yukon for far longer as a traditional Deg Hit'an Athabascan village site.
With only one documented street in USPS records, Anvik's address system reflects the reality of a small Alaska Native village where traditional geographic knowledge and general delivery often replace conventional street addressing. Main Street represents the limited Western-style infrastructure in a community that operates primarily through personal familiarity rather than formal addressing systems.
ZIP Code 99558 has 70 residents and 21 households (average 3.33 persons per household). The median age is 38.3 years, slightly older than the state (35.6) and about the same as the nation (38.8). The gender split is 58.6% male and 41.4% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (88.6%, much higher than the state average of 15.2% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and White (4.3%, much lower than the state average of 59.4% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (15.2%) and national averages (1.1%).
