This isn't a town with traditional infrastructure. The entire ZIP code covers just 0.036 square miles, making it one of Georgia's smallest postal zones by area. There's minimal street delivery—only one carrier route serves physical addresses along Irwinton Road and Vantrid Road. The overwhelming majority of the 44 residents use PO Boxes, not because they choose to, but because rural carrier routes are the only alternative.
The regional service pattern becomes clear when you look at the numbers. Baldwin County's rural landscape doesn't support carrier delivery for scattered homesteads and farms. Residents from areas without delivery options travel to Hardwick's post office, creating the massive disparity between local population and box count. The facility operates as a mail hub for a geography far larger than its technical ZIP code boundaries.
The community itself is small and aging. With a median age of 31.5 years and a median household income of $12,376, this is a low-income rural area. The 19 occupied housing units house 44 people, but 12 housing units stand vacant. There's virtually no commercial activity—zero business establishments reported in the area. What exists here is purely residential, sustained by the post office's role as the only consistent public infrastructure for miles around.
Only two roads have formal postal records, both typical rural routes connecting to nearby towns. The limited street infrastructure reflects this area's role as a postal hub rather than a residential community.
ZIP Code 31034 has 44 residents and 19 households (average 2.32 persons per household). The median age is 31.5 years, younger than the state (37.5) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 34.1% male and 65.9% female, which is much lower than the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are Black or African American (79.5%, much higher than the state average of 31.0% and well above the national average of 12.4%) and White (9.1%, much lower than the state average of 51.9% and well below the national average of 61.6%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 4.5%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and Black or African American share is much higher than both the state (31.0%) and national averages (12.4%).
