Key Facts
  • This ZIP code has zero PO Boxes and zero population, making it one of the smallest postal designations in Tennessee
  • Despite being classified as a PO Box ZIP, it actually has street delivery on one city carrier route
  • Only three ZIP+4 records exist for this entire ZIP code, with two addresses on Pruden Road
  • The facility code indicates no active post office operates at this location
  • This ZIP is contained within the larger 37715 ZIP code area and likely shares postal operations

A Minimal Postal Designation

Pruden is a minimal postal designation in Claiborne County, Tennessee, serving a single delivery point on Pruden Road. This ZIP code doesn't have an active post office or PO Boxes. Instead, it functions as a routing designation for a specific location within the broader 37715 ZIP code area.

With zero population recorded in the Census ZCTA and only one single-family dwelling unit tracked in postal records, this isn't a community in the traditional sense. The three ZIP+4 records include two addresses on Pruden Road and one entry for general postal administration. The facility code indicates this location doesn't operate as a standard post office.

How Mail Service Works

Mail addressed to Pruden uses city carrier route delivery rather than PO Box service. This is unusual for a ZIP code classified as PO Box only, but it shows how the classification system doesn't always match current operations. The presence of a General Delivery route suggests minimal public postal service, likely consolidated with nearby Tazewell or New Tazewell operations in the larger surrounding ZIP code area.
