The ZIP contains almost no street delivery infrastructure. Only one street appears in the postal records: Hogan Road. That single route handles just one delivery point. Everyone else relies on the post office. With an area of only 0.123 square miles, Harris itself is tiny. But its postal function extends far beyond those borders.
This is a true PO Box Only zone. Residents don't have the option of switching to street delivery because none exists. The 90 boxes serve not just Harris but surrounding rural addresses where carrier routes don't reach. People drive in from neighboring communities to collect their mail. The post office becomes a gathering point, a shared piece of infrastructure for a dispersed population.
The demographics show a small, settled community. Median age is 32.5 years. The population is primarily white (60%) with a small African American population (20%) and mixed race residents (33%). With just 7 occupied housing units and a population-to-household ratio of 2.14, this looks like conventional single-family homes rather than any institutional presence. Census data shows all 7 housing units are occupied year-round, ruling out seasonal vacation patterns.
Harris functions as a postal hub for western Rutherford County's rural fringe. The high box count relative to local population isn't unusual for these regional service points. It's the intended design. Small crossroads communities often host post offices serving territories measured in square miles rather than city blocks. The 90 boxes represent families, farms, and small businesses scattered across a landscape where laying out carrier routes wouldn't be practical or cost-effective.
With only one street in the postal database, Harris has virtually no street delivery infrastructure. Hogan Road represents the sole carrier route delivery point in the entire ZIP code.
