This isn't a data error. It's geography. Hyder is the only U.S. community accessible by road solely through Canada, connected to the Canadian town of Stewart, BC. The post office serves as a mail gateway for cross-border residents, Canadian seasonal workers, and travelers who need a U.S. mailing address without living in Hyder proper.
The community itself covers 16.9 square miles along the border. Mail delivery operates on two rural carrier routes plus one general delivery route serving 7th Avenue and Hyder Avenue. The post office manages four separate PO Box route designations, reflecting the heavy reliance on box service rather than street delivery.
Hyder's median household income sits at $48,956, with 17 people employed across the ZIP code. The community has 80 total housing units, though only 27 are occupied year-round. That 66% vacancy rate includes seasonal properties and structures related to border access. Census data shows the population is primarily white (60 residents) with a median age of 49, indicating a small, mature community rather than a growing settlement.
Hyder has only two documented streets with mail delivery: 7th Avenue and Hyder Avenue. This minimal street grid reflects the community's small size and geographic constraints at the end of the road on the Alaska-BC border. Most residents rely on PO Boxes rather than street delivery, with four PO Box routes serving the community and surrounding cross-border population.
