Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 224 PO Boxes but serves only 92 local residents, creating an adoption rate of 4.98 that indicates major regional hub function.
  • Two rural carrier routes extend from the post office, serving addresses on Gould Road, Cox Brook Road, Dickinson Drive, First Street, and Second Street.
  • With just 45 occupied housing units and zero commercial establishments in the business census, this is one of Vermont's smallest postal service communities.
  • The population of 92 residents has a median age of 36.3 years, younger than many rural Vermont communities.
  • This PO Box-only ZIP serves customers from surrounding areas where carrier delivery isn't practical across Washington County's rural terrain.
  • The post office recorded 11 business customers, likely representing farms, home-based businesses, and seasonal operations from the broader region.

Delivery Patterns

The ZIP covers minimal land area but two rural carrier routes extend outward from the post office, reaching homes scattered across the countryside. Those routes serve addresses on Gould Road, Cox Brook Road, and a handful of other rural lanes. But the overwhelming majority of mail service happens inside the post office itself, where boxes serve both Northfield Falls residents and customers from nearby unincorporated areas.

Community Profile

The village has just 92 residents, making it one of Vermont's smallest named communities. Median age is 36.3 years. The housing stock is minimal: 45 occupied units total. There's essentially no commercial presence in the ZIP itself, with zero business establishments and zero employees recorded in the business census. What appears here as "Northfield Falls" is really a post office serving a broader rural region.

Regional Service Function

This isn't unusual for Vermont. Many hill towns rely on small post offices like this one as collection points for areas where carrier delivery isn't practical. The surrounding terrain makes daily mail routes expensive to operate. Rural routes can reach some homes, but PO Boxes remain the most reliable option for many residents spread across Washington County's rural landscape. The post office recorded 11 business customers alongside 224 residential boxes, suggesting local farms, home-based businesses, and seasonal operations use this location as a mailing address even if they're physically located elsewhere.

Street Name Patterns

Rural Roads Minimal Grid Geographic Features

The street names reflect a tiny village center with numbered streets (First, Second) alongside rural roads named for local families (Gould) and geographic features (Cox Brook). The minimal number of delivery records on each street confirms this is primarily a PO Box service point rather than a street delivery community.
