Flom is a tiny rural community in Norman County, Minnesota, with just 31 residents spread across 4 square miles of prairie farmland. This is designated as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery method for the area. The Flom post office maintains 20 PO Boxes for 21 households, a 95% adoption rate that shows near-universal reliance on box service.
Despite the PO Box classification, some limited street delivery exists here. Mail routes include both a city carrier route and a rural route serving addresses along County Highway 38, 110th Avenue, 430th Street, and 450th Street. However, because this is officially a PO Box Only Zone, most residents depend on the post office for mail pickup rather than home delivery.
Flom is an older, working-class community. The median age is 41.5 years, and median household income stands at $58,750. Home values are modest at a median of $75,000. Of the 24 total housing units, 21 are occupied and 18 are owner-occupied. The community is predominantly white (90%), with a small Native American population (10%). Three small businesses operate locally, employing seven people combined.
Street names follow rural Minnesota conventions with numbered county highways and grid-pattern avenues and streets.
ZIP Code 56541 has 31 residents and 21 households (average 1.48 persons per household). The median age is 41.5 years, older than the state (38.4) and slightly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 32.3% male and 67.7% female, which is much lower than the state male share (49.7%), making this a female-majority area.
