The ZIP spans Gibson County in rural west Tennessee, about 20 miles from the Kentucky border. The community sits along Newbern Highway, the primary route through the area. Rural carrier routes extend into the countryside, serving scattered farms and homesteads across the region. The median household income is $35,500, with a median home value of $78,600. These are agricultural economics, where land matters more than property values.
The population is aging here. The median age is 49.5 years, higher than Tennessee's statewide average of 39.3. Of the 14 total housing units in the ZIP's boundaries, 8 are occupied and 6 sit vacant. The vacancy doesn't signal abandonment but reflects the rural pattern of inherited property, seasonal use by family members, or homes waiting for the next generation. This is a place where families have deep roots.
Mail delivery follows rural patterns. Three rural carrier routes serve the area, with one general delivery route covering additional territory. The post office handles both PO Box service and route delivery, functioning as a hub for a dispersed community. Street delivery records show Newbern and Newbern Highway as the primary addresses, with just a handful of delivery points along these roads. The high PO Box count relative to street addresses shows that most customers prefer box service, even when route delivery exists.
The ratio of 4.375 people per household is higher than the national average of 2.5, suggesting extended family arrangements or multi-generational homes. This pattern is common in rural agricultural areas where family members live together or on adjacent properties. The post office serves 4 businesses with 30 employees, providing a small economic base beyond farming. The 100% high school completion rate shows a community that values education despite its small size and remote location.
The street records show a minimal network centered on Newbern Highway, the main corridor through this part of Gibson County. With just two named streets and a handful of delivery points, the data confirms that most addresses in the area use rural route numbers rather than street names. The Postmaster building appears as the only named facility, typical of small post offices that serve as the sole institutional presence in dispersed rural areas.
ZIP Code 38389 has 35 residents and 8 households (average 4.38 persons per household). The median age is 49.5 years, significantly older than the state (39.1) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 77.1% male and 22.9% female, which is much higher than the state male share (48.7%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (88.6%, much higher than the state average of 72.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and American Indian & Alaska Native (8.6%, much higher than the state average of 0.4% and well above the national average of 1.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 0.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
