Faith, North Carolina is home to just 30 people living in 13 households, yet the post office maintains 301 PO Boxes. That's 23 boxes for every local household. This extreme ratio shows Faith's role as a regional postal hub for Rowan County, serving communities far beyond its tiny population center.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists across the service area. Residents from surrounding neighborhoods like Peeler Estates, Old Farm, and Stony Heights travel to the Faith post office on Gantt Street because it's their only option for receiving mail.
Within the ZCTA boundary itself, only 30 people live here. The median age is 27.3 years. All 13 occupied homes are owner-occupied, with no renters. The population is predominantly white (25 of 30 residents), with small Hispanic (4) and multiracial (2) populations. Zero children under 18 live within the ZIP boundary, though this reflects only the immediate post office vicinity, not the broader service area.
The Faith post office has operated since before October 2004, when ZIP tracking began. It serves as the central mail access point for nearby subdivisions including Peeler Estates (0.1 miles away), Old Farm (0.3 miles), and Eastview Heights (0.5 miles). These communities rely on Faith's PO Boxes because carrier delivery isn't available in this part of Rowan County.
The ZIP has a MultiPoint geometry, meaning it's a point location without defined territory. It sits within the boundaries of ZIP 28146, the larger polygon ZIP that covers the surrounding area. Despite the PO Box classification, limited street delivery exists on Gantt Street, with 48 delivery records and 2 distinct city carrier routes serving units at that address.
Only one street (Gantt St) has delivery records, with 48 points including unit designators.
ZIP Code 28041 has 30 residents and 13 households (average 2.31 persons per household).

The gender split is 30.0% male and 70.0% female, which is much lower than the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (83.3%, much higher than the state average of 62.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Other / Two or More Races (10.0%, higher than the state average of 5.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 6.7%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
