Redby sits on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota, home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. Of the 1,372 residents, 98% are Native American. This is one of the largest tribal communities in the state with PO Box-only mail service.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery anywhere in the 66 square miles of ZIP 56670. The Redby post office maintains 592 PO Boxes for 350 households, a 169% adoption rate. Why so many boxes for fewer homes? The post office serves the broader reservation community beyond the immediate area. Families from across the reservation pick up their mail here.
Households in Redby average about 4 people, consistent with the extended family structures common in Ojibwe communities. The median age is just 25.2 years, making this a notably young population. Government employment dominates the local economy. Of 614 workers, 277 (45%) work in public administration, primarily for the Red Lake tribal government.
Median household income runs $53,462, and home values average $102,400. About 57% of households own their homes, with 43% renting. The housing stock includes many older structures, with 291 units built before 1939. Only 4% of residents over 25 hold bachelor's degrees, though this reflects the community's focus on traditional knowledge and tribal governance rather than formal credentialing.
Minimal street data reflects the PO Box-only nature of this reservation ZIP code.
ZIP Code 56670 has 1,372 residents and 350 households (average 3.89 persons per household). The median age is 25.2 years, significantly younger than the state (38.4) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8).
