Denali National Park, Alaska (ZIP 99755) sits at the entrance to America's third-largest national park, 240 miles north of Anchorage along the George Parks Highway. This isn't a town in the traditional sense. It's a cluster of seasonal lodges, tourism businesses, and year-round residents who serve 600,000+ annual park visitors. With just 217 permanent residents spread across 388 square miles, the settlement exists primarily to support Alaska's most visited wilderness.
The Denali Park post office maintains 342 PO Boxes for a community of 111 households. That's a 3.08x adoption rate, meaning the post office serves nearly three times as many boxes as local homes. This happens because seasonal workers, lodge owners, tour operators, and businesses from across the park entrance area all need mail access. There's limited rural carrier delivery along a few roads like Yanert Road and Revine Creek Loop, but most residents and all businesses rely on PO Boxes. You can use "Denali Park" as a mailing alias, which was added in May 2005.
Nearly half the housing units here (48%) sit vacant most of the year. Of 375 total units, only 111 are occupied year-round. The rest are seasonal employee housing, vacation cabins, and business properties that come alive from May through September when park visitation peaks. Median home values of $458,300 and per capita income of $111,326 indicate this isn't a typical rural Alaska community. Wealthy seasonal residents and tourism property owners drive those numbers up.
The year-round population works in a narrow range of industries. According to census employment data, residents work primarily in transportation and warehousing (745 workers in the broader area), agriculture and tourism support (485 workers), and public administration (153 workers, mostly National Park Service staff). Nobody here commutes to an office. The community exists because of the park. Median age of 37.1 years and 11.5% working from home suggests a mix of seasonal workers, remote professionals, and NPS employees who've chosen this isolated posting.
Mail logistics here follow the rhythms of Alaska's wilderness. The community post office (facility code C) operates year-round, but demand fluctuates dramatically. Winter months see minimal activity serving the core residents. Summer brings a surge when lodges open, seasonal workers arrive, and tourists need to mail packages home. Street names like Carlo Creek Road, Toklat Court, and Denali Park Road reference local waterways and park features, but don't expect dense development. These are scattered addresses along remote roads where moose outnumber mailboxes.
Street names reference local waterways (Carlo Creek, Revine Creek), park features (Denali Park Road, Toklat Court), and the main transportation corridor (George Parks Highway).
ZIP Code 99755 has 217 residents and 111 households (average 1.80 persons per household).

Largest groups are White (93.1%, much higher than the state average of 59.4% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (1.8%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 1.8%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
