The mail system tells the story of Appalachian geography. Street delivery exists but remains limited—just two roads appear in postal records (W KY Highway 80 and Steepfield Fork Road), with one city route and one rural route covering the area. For many in the surrounding hollows and valleys, a PO Box at Avawam represents the most reliable way to receive mail. The post office sits within the larger 41701 ZIP code boundary, functioning as a delivery point for communities that don't have their own carrier routes.
The population is entirely White (100%) with a median age of 44. All 17 housing units are occupied, and the typical household contains about 2.1 people. Economic data isn't available for a community this small, but the settlement pattern tells its own story. This is rural eastern Kentucky, where communities developed along creek beds and roads that follow natural contours through steep terrain.
W KY Highway 80 connects this area to the broader region, running east-west through Perry County. Steepfield Fork Road branches into the surrounding hills. The postal records also show a single named building entry for the Postmaster, typical of small rural post offices where the facility itself constitutes the primary postal address. These aren't streets lined with houses. They're routes into the mountains where families live on scattered properties.
The two streets reflect classic Appalachian settlement patterns: a highway corridor (W KY Highway 80) connecting the region, and a fork road (Steepfield Fork) following creek tributaries into the surrounding hills. These aren't urban streets but rural routes serving scattered mountain properties.
ZIP Code 41713 has 36 residents and 17 households (average 2.12 persons per household). The median age is 44.0 years, older than the state (39.4) and older than the nation (38.8).
