Southmont is a tiny incorporated community in Davidson County, North Carolina, covering just 0.012 square miles along NC Highway 8 South. With only 71 residents and 22 households, this is one of the smallest municipalities in the state. But the Southmont post office maintains 195 PO Boxes, serving nearly nine times as many box holders as local households.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the service area. While limited street delivery exists along NC Highway 8 South (43 delivery points with unit designators), the overwhelming majority of mail goes to PO Boxes. The 8.86 adoption rate indicates the post office serves surrounding rural areas in Davidson County where residents lack carrier delivery options.
The 71 residents within Southmont's boundaries are predominantly white (82%), with a median age of 32.5 years. All 22 housing units are owner-occupied. There are no rental properties, no seasonal homes, and no group quarters. Education levels run high: 53.7% of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher. Among the limited workforce data available, 38 workers commute alone, 44 work in education or health care, 44 work in public administration, and 38 work in transportation. The overlap suggests many residents hold multiple jobs or the sample captures workers who live elsewhere but use Southmont addresses.
Southmont has existed as a postal address since before October 2004, when USPS began tracking introduction dates. The community sits in the Salisbury metropolitan area, near subdivisions like Anchor Downs, Wildwood Acres, and Lakeside Farms (all 2-3 miles away). These neighboring communities likely rely on the Southmont post office for PO Box services, explaining the extreme box-to-household ratio. With zero business establishments recorded in the ZIP code and only 44 business delivery points, Southmont functions purely as a residential and postal hub.
Mail delivery concentrates entirely on NC Highway 8 South, the single street with delivery points.
