The postal system uses a mix of city carrier routes and rural routes to serve the community's scattered housing.

With a median age of 47.4 years and 92% homeownership, McGraws is an established community with deep roots. Most homes date from before 1939, with 88% of the housing stock built in that earlier era. The median home value is $168,800, and household incomes average $81,477.
The community's economy reflects its rural character. Top employment sectors include public administration (194 workers), transportation and warehousing (124 workers), educational services and healthcare (112 workers), and other services (97 workers). About 33% of workers commute from home, a pattern common in rural areas where jobs may be scattered across county lines.
