Farley is a small rural community in Platte County, Missouri, about 20 miles northwest of Kansas City. With 283 residents and 111 households spread across less than half a square mile, it's classified as a PO Box Only Zone. That means there's no alternative mail delivery. The 87 PO Boxes at the Farley Post Office serve the entire community.
Mail arrives via two rural carrier routes. Streets like Main Street, North Street, and Platte River Road make up the town's layout, but residents can't receive carrier delivery at these addresses. Instead, everyone picks up mail at the post office. This isn't unusual for small Missouri towns where population density doesn't justify daily carrier routes.
Farley sits near the Platte River in agricultural country. The median household income is $103,750, well above the state average, and median home values reach $183,300. With a median age of 47.3 years and 91% homeownership (101 of 111 households), it's an established community of working families. About 28% of workers commute alone by car, while another 6% carpool.
The town has limited commercial activity. Census data shows zero business establishments and zero employees in the ZIP code itself, though 14 business delivery points exist (likely home-based businesses or farm operations). Highway 45 runs through the area, connecting Farley to larger communities. Despite being classified as PO Box only since before 2004, the rural routes still serve the 88 residential delivery points, delivering packages and parcels to roadside mailboxes while letters go to post office boxes.
