The PO Box system isn't optional here. All 135 households rely on post office boxes for mail delivery, with 127 boxes actively maintained. That's a 94% adoption rate, meaning nearly every household depends on this single facility. There's no street delivery alternative. The island's three named streets—Harbor Road, Naomi Street, and Polovina Turnpike—serve physical access but don't support carrier routes.
The community operates on a household ratio of 3.06 people per residence, typical of extended family structures common in Alaska Native villages. Median age sits at 37.5 years, suggesting a working-age population that supports the island's fishing economy. The Census counted 192 total housing units, but only 135 are occupied year-round. The remaining 57 units stay vacant, with 19 classified as seasonal—likely used during commercial fishing seasons.
Median household income reaches $98,750, substantially higher than most rural Alaska communities. This reflects the lucrative fur seal and halibut fisheries that define island employment. Median home value stands at $107,100. The island supports 13 businesses employing 222 workers, an unusually high employment-to-population ratio that indicates seasonal commercial activity drawing workers from outside the permanent resident base.
The island's three streets reflect its maritime economy and compact geography. Harbor Road connects to fishing operations, while Polovina Turnpike likely references historical seal harvest areas. The minimal street network—just three named routes—shows how PO Box delivery becomes necessary when physical infrastructure is limited by extreme geography.
ZIP Code 99660 has 413 residents and 135 households (average 2.79 persons per household). The median age is 37.5 years, slightly older than the state (35.6) and slightly younger than the nation (38.8).
