Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 117 PO Boxes to serve just 47 local households, meaning 70 boxes serve residents from surrounding areas without their own postal facilities.
  • With only 0.005 square miles of actual delivery area but serving 194 people, this is one of the most geographically compact PO Box ZIPs in Texas.
  • Three rural carrier routes radiate from this post office, connecting scattered homes across the Texas-Louisiana border region.
  • Only two streets (FM 31 and Shreveport Street) have dedicated ZIP+4 routing codes, but the system maintains eight distinct delivery records total.
  • The average household has 4.1 people, significantly higher than the US average of 2.5, indicating multigenerational or extended family living arrangements.
  • Despite being classified as a PO Box ZIP, 27 businesses maintain addresses here, showing it functions as a rural commerce hub.

Regional Mail Hub

The post office sits near the Louisiana border, about 15 miles from Shreveport's airport area. In border regions like this, rural carrier routes often cross invisible county and sometimes state lines. Three rural routes and one general delivery route serve the area, connecting scattered households that wouldn't otherwise have regular mail service. FM 31 and Shreveport Street anchor the limited street infrastructure, but most mail here goes to boxes, not doors.

Community Demographics

This is a predominantly white community (69% according to 2020 Census data), with a median age of 38.2 years and a population that has remained stable at 194 people. Housing occupancy is high at 68%, with virtually no seasonal vacancies. The 47 occupied homes break down to an average household size just over four people, suggesting multigenerational families rather than single residents.

Why PO Boxes Dominate

The ZIP serves as what postal planners call a consolidation point. Twenty-seven businesses maintain addresses here, alongside the 117 residential PO Boxes. Eight different ZIP+4 records exist for just two street names and one named building (the post office itself). That's an unusually high ZIP+4-to-street ratio, indicating precise routing needs for rural delivery. When your nearest neighbors might be miles away and street delivery isn't economical, a centralized PO Box becomes the practical choice. The adoption rate isn't about preference. It's about geography.

Street Name Patterns

Highway Corridor Border Proximity

The street names reveal the ZIP's character as a border crossing point: FM 31 is a farm-to-market road connecting rural Texas communities, while Shreveport Street points directly toward Louisiana's second-largest city just miles away. With only two streets recorded in the postal system, this isn't a traditional town grid but rather a crossroads serving dispersed rural populations on both sides of the state line.
