Overview
Understanding ZIP code 06353
ZIP code 06353 is assigned to Montville, CT, and falls within Southeastern Connecticut County.

Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 369 people live inside it.
At 1,392 residents per square mile spread over 0.265 square miles, 06353 reads as a suburban area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 06353 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 06353 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 06353 offers a compact profile of Montville: 369 residents, 20.6% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 06353 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Montville may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
