This isn't a convenience choice. The ZIP covers just over 66 square miles of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in what was formerly called Kusilvak Census Area. With 94% of residents identifying as Native American, this is one of Alaska's predominantly Yup'ik communities. The 217 PO Boxes serve 174 occupied households, and some boxes also handle mail for residents in surrounding areas without postal facilities.
The post office maintains a single rural carrier route that serves Airport Road and one named building. That's the extent of the delivery infrastructure. Extended families are common here—the population-to-household ratio sits at 3.6, well above the national average of 2.5. Multiple generations often share homes, a cultural pattern reflected in household size.
Median household income is $62,188, but context matters in rural Alaska where cost of living runs high and subsistence activities supplement cash income. The median age of 29 skews young. Only 6% of residents work from home, and unemployment stood at 6.2% in recent surveys. This is a place where community life and traditional practices shape daily rhythms more than conventional employment patterns.
The single recorded street—Airport Road—reflects Mountain Village's remote location and minimal road infrastructure. Mail delivery in this Alaska Native community depends entirely on the post office and a rural carrier route, not a developed street grid.
ZIP Code 99632 has 621 residents and 174 households (average 3.52 persons per household). The median age is 29.0 years, younger than the state (35.6) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.9% male and 49.1% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (94.2%, much higher than the state average of 15.2% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and White (3.1%, 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%).
