Brookfield doesn't appear on most maps, but its post office serves a vital function for southern Tift County. The ZIP covers just 0.038 square miles along Lower Brookfield Road, with a Census population of 12 people living in one occupied household. That household-to-population ratio of 12:1 suggests institutional living rather than traditional single-family homes. The median age of 63.5 points to an older or retirement community.
What makes this small facility significant is its regional reach. The post office maintains 70 PO Boxes despite serving just one local household, meaning 69 boxes belong to people from surrounding areas. That's a POBoxAdoptionRate of 70.0, one of the highest adoption rates in Georgia. People travel here because nearby areas along rural routes lack carrier delivery. The post office fills that gap, providing mail access to farmers, businesses, and residents across the countryside who can't get delivery at their physical addresses.
There's only one street in the postal records: Lower Brookfield Road. The name suggests this facility sits in a lower-elevation area of what was once a larger Brookfield community. With just 4 delivery records on this single road, the street delivery infrastructure is minimal compared to the 70 PO Boxes serving the broader region.
ZIP Code 31727 has 12 residents and 1 households (average 12.00 persons per household). The median age is 63.5 years, significantly older than the state (37.5) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 41.7% male and 58.3% female, which is much lower than the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (100.0%, much higher than the state average of 51.9% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (0.0%, much lower than the state average of 31.0% and well below the national average of 12.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
