The village itself has minimal street infrastructure. Post Office Ave is the only named street with delivery records, and there's one named building recorded in postal data: Postmaster. That's it. The entire ZIP covers just over half a square mile, yet it functions as a lifeline for 34 people who call this place home and many more who depend on it for mail service.
Carter County's landscape doesn't follow neat subdivision patterns. People live on properties that predate modern addressing systems, in hollows and along ridges where carrier routes would be impractical. For these residents, the Grahn post office isn't a convenience—it's their connection to everything that comes by mail. The high adoption rate reflects that reality.
The population is small but stable. All 34 residents are white, with a median age of 55.8 years. There's no commercial activity recorded—zero business establishments and zero jobs connected to this ZIP. The median household income of $11,431 places Grahn among the poorest communities in Kentucky. The 32 housing units tracked in census data suggest a slightly broader residential footprint than the 8 occupied households captured in postal records, likely including seasonal or unoccupied structures.
With just one named street—Post Office Ave—Grahn's postal geography reflects its function as a pure mail facility rather than a traditional town with residential streets. The minimal infrastructure underscores why PO Boxes are the primary delivery method.
ZIP Code 41142 has 34 residents and 8 households (average 4.25 persons per household).
