Togiak sits on the shores of Bristol Bay in southwestern Alaska, serving as home to the Togiak Traditional Council and the Native Village of Togiak. Of the 818 residents, 90% are Alaska Native (738 people), making this one of Alaska's most culturally cohesive indigenous communities. The median age of 27.3 years and household size of 3.5 people indicate a young, family-oriented population that's sustained this fishing village for generations.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists across the 742 square mile territory. The Togiak post office maintains 217 PO Boxes for 231 occupied households, a 94% adoption rate that shows near-universal reliance on PO Box service. Mail doesn't arrive by carrier here. Residents must collect everything from the post office: packages, medications, government documents, subsistence permits, and correspondence.
Togiak's isolation shapes daily life. The community is accessible only by air or water. There's no road connection to the state highway system. With just one named street in the ZIP+4 database (Airport Way), traditional addressing doesn't exist. The vast 742 square miles contain minimal formal infrastructure, typical of remote Alaska Native villages where the post office works as the central hub for all mail services.
Commercial fishing drives the economy. Transportation, warehousing, and utilities account for 56% of employment (184 of 328 workers), mostly in Bristol Bay's legendary salmon fishery. Another 31% work in public administration (87 workers), largely for the tribal government and local school district. The $56,563 median household income comes primarily from seasonal fishing work supplemented by subsistence activities.
With just one street name (Airport Way) and one rural carrier route, Togiak has virtually no formal addressing system.
ZIP Code 99678 has 818 residents and 231 households (average 3.52 persons per household). The median age is 27.3 years, significantly younger than the state (35.6) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 48.9% male and 51.1% female, which is lower than the state male share (52.0%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are American Indian & Alaska Native (90.2%, much higher than the state average of 15.2% and well above the national average of 1.1%) and White (5.0%, much lower than the state average of 59.4% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 1.2%, 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%).
