The ZIP contains only 66 people across four streets: Bridge Street, Town Farm Road, Oakes Street, and School Street. Yet the post office maintains nearly ten times as many boxes as local addresses. Residents from surrounding areas without carrier delivery make this their mailing address. The enclosing ZIP 04938 provides the geographic context for where these box holders actually live.
This is a true PO Box only zone. There's no alternative delivery option. The designation reflects Franklin County's settlement pattern, where small post offices anchor dispersed rural populations. The facility handles two rural carrier routes, serving farms and homes scattered across the countryside.
The community itself occupies just 0.087 square miles of land. Population density doesn't drive the postal infrastructure here. Regional access does. West Farmington's 213 boxes serve people across a much wider area, making this small post office a critical link in Maine's rural mail network.
Street names reflect classic New England small-town identity: civic buildings (School), agricultural history (Town Farm), and community infrastructure (Bridge). These four streets comprise the entire local delivery area, while 213 PO Boxes serve the much larger rural region.
ZIP Code 04992 has 66 residents and 22 households (average 3.00 persons per household). The median age is 34.7 years, significantly younger than the state (45.1) and younger than the nation (38.8).
