This ZIP code serves North Dakota State University's campus in Fargo. With 2,524 residents and just 9 households, this isn't a residential neighborhood. It's a campus. The population-to-household ratio of 280.4 to 1 shows that 98% of people here (2,483 residents) live in dormitories, not traditional homes.
Median age is 19.9 years. These are college students. The census found only 2 people under 18 and 2 people over 65 in the entire ZIP code. Educational attainment is exceptionally high at 81.5% with bachelor's degrees or higher, though this figure includes graduate students and faculty living on campus.
Mail delivery at NDSU uses a building-based system. Campus buildings with dedicated mail handling include Burgum Hall, Ceres Hall, Churchill Hall, Stockbridge Hall, and Van Es Hall. The most active delivery route is 2nd Ave N with 30 delivery points serving multi-unit housing. Street names like University Dr N, College St N, and Administration Ave N identify this as institutional territory.
The post office maintains 24 PO Boxes, but that's 2.67 times the number of local households. This means the campus post office doesn't just serve students. It handles mail for surrounding areas and businesses (41 business delivery points are recorded). The regional hub function explains why a small campus ZIP operates its own postal facility.
Fargo has multiple ZIP codes. The 58105 classification as PO Box type is outdated, since the campus clearly has active city carrier delivery on routes C770 and C771. Most students receive mail at their residence hall addresses rather than maintaining individual PO Boxes. NDSU sits in north Fargo, bordered by the Roosevelt and Madison-Unicorn Park neighborhoods within half a mile.
Street names like University Dr, College St, and Administration Ave clearly mark this as institutional territory, while named residence halls handle most campus mail.
ZIP Code 58105 has 2,524 residents and 9 households (average 4.56 persons per household). The median age is 19.9 years, significantly younger than the state (35.8) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 52.9% male and 47.1% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (81.7%, much higher than the national average of 61.6%) and Black or African American (10.5%, much higher than the state average of 3.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 7.9%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
