This isn't a border community in the international sense—the low confidence score reflects that. Instead, it's a service boundary hub where town meets countryside. The 0.15 square miles of actual ZIP territory sits at the edge of larger delivery zones, with one rural carrier route and one city carrier route working together to cover the area.
The street network is minimal: East Main Street handles most delivery with 2 ZIP+4 records, while Ferelanc Street accounts for one more. A single named building serves the Postmaster. The 26 businesses registered here include the 6 establishments employing 23 people. The median household income of $25,844 reflects Georgia's rural economy, where work happens on farms and in small enterprises rather than corporate offices.
The demographics show a small but stable community. The median age is 27.5 years, younger than typical retirement areas but not college-dominated. The population includes 33 people identifying as Black or African American and 9 as white, with 3 identifying as multiracial. All 18 occupied housing units are owner-occupied, and 14 were built before 2000. This is a place where people stay, even as the broader county sees population shifts.
Terrell County's agricultural heritage shapes daily life here. The county's economy has long centered on farming, and Sasser serves as one of several small postal hubs scattered across rural Georgia. The high PO Box count relative to households isn't unusual for this region—it's how mail reaches people living on county roads and farm routes miles from the nearest town.
The street network is extremely limited with just two streets handling all physical delivery. East Main Street carries most of the load with 2 ZIP+4 records, while Ferelanc Street accounts for one additional record. This minimal infrastructure reflects Sasser's role as a small rural hub where PO Box service dominates over street delivery.
ZIP Code 39885 has 45 residents and 18 households (average 2.50 persons per household).
