La Grange serves as a regional mail hub for rural Fayette County, Tennessee. The post office maintains 64 PO Boxes for a ZCTA population of just 28 residents across 12 households. This 5.33x adoption rate means the post office serves far more people than live within the immediate ZIP boundary, drawing customers from surrounding rural areas without carrier delivery.

Most residents and those from surrounding areas rely entirely on PO Boxes.
La Grange's street pattern reflects a historic small town: Main Street, 2nd Street, 4th Street, Pine Street, and Walnut Street form a compact grid. Highway 57 runs through the area with 15 delivery points, the most of any street in the ZIP+4 data. The town footprint covers just 1.97 square miles.
The 28 residents within the ZCTA are older and educated. Median age is 46.5 years. Among adults 25 and over, 55.6% hold bachelor's degrees or higher, well above typical rural areas.
