  • Only 35 people live within the Texas ZIP boundary, but 3 businesses employ 34 workers, indicating Texhoma functions as a regional service point
  • With a median age of 23.8 years and 75% of adults holding bachelor's degrees, this is one of the youngest and most educated populations among PO Box classified ZIPs
  • The ZIP was introduced in May 2012, making it relatively new; the town itself is split between Texas (73960) and Oklahoma (73949)

A Regional Service Point on the State Line

Texhoma sits on the Texas-Oklahoma state line in Sherman County, with a population of just 35 people within the Texas ZIP boundary. Despite this tiny residential base, the post office maintains 91 PO Boxes, serving a regional area that extends far beyond the 11 households counted by Census. That's an adoption rate of 8.3x, meaning the post office serves eight times more boxes than local homes.

PO Box Only Zone

This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across this border region. Rural carrier route delivery serves the immediate area (86 rural route records for 12 streets), but the majority of mail users rely exclusively on PO Boxes. People from surrounding farms, ranches, and unincorporated areas in both Texas and Oklahoma travel to this post office for mail access.

Small-Town Street Grid

The street grid shows a classic small-town pattern with numbered streets (S 1st St through S 6th St) plus named streets like S Rowe St, E Denver St, and W Moorman St. These 12 streets hold the local delivery infrastructure, but the real service footprint extends across the rural borderland.

Demographics of a Crossroads Community

Texhoma's Texas-side population is remarkably young and educated. Median age: 23.8 years. Of the four adults over 25, three hold bachelor's degrees or higher (75%). This tiny community supports 3 business establishments employing 34 people, a number that dwarfs the resident population and confirms Texhoma's role as a regional service point rather than a residential town.

A Divided Town with Shared Identity

The ZIP code was introduced in May 2012, making it relatively new in postal terms. Texhoma itself is an older community, but this specific ZIP classification dates to just over a decade ago. The town straddles the state line, with Oklahoma's Texhoma using ZIP code 73949. Both sides share the same post office location and community identity, split only by postal jurisdiction.
