West Greene is a tiny community in rural Greene County, Alabama, with a population of just 5 residents. This isn't a town in the traditional sense. It's a point on the map where a small post office provides mail service to the surrounding countryside. The post office sits along Greene County Road 117, and that's the only street in the ZIP+4 database.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery here, and the 9 PO Boxes at the post office serve not just the 5 local residents but also people from the surrounding area. The PO Box adoption rate of 1.8 means there are nearly twice as many boxes as households, suggesting the post office draws customers from beyond the immediate neighborhood.
The median age of 59.3 years points to an older population. All 5 housing units are owner-occupied, and there are no seasonal or vacant properties. This is a stable, long-established rural community where residents have put down roots.
Greene County itself is one of the poorest and least populated counties in Alabama, and West Greene reflects that character: quiet, remote, and dependent on the post office for mail access.
Only one street appears in the data: Greene County Road 117, where the post office is located.
ZIP Code 35491 has 5 residents and 5 households (average 1.00 persons per household).
