The post office operates as the sole delivery option for this rural zone. There's no street delivery infrastructure here. What exists instead is a single street route on Line Street and two rural carrier routes covering the surrounding area. For residents and nearby families who depend on this facility, the PO Box isn't a convenience. It's the connection point.
Nearly one in four residents identify as Native American, making up 25% of the population. The median household income stands at $58,750, while median family income reaches $31,005. These numbers tell a story of a small, close-knit community where extended family structures remain common. The population-to-household ratio of 2.29 reflects traditional household patterns found throughout McCurtain County.
Golden's postal infrastructure includes seven ZIP+4 records split between three street records and four PO Box records. The post office building itself appears in delivery records alongside Line Street as the community's primary physical address. Despite serving only 71 people directly, the facility maintains 47 boxes because surrounding areas without their own carrier delivery rely on this location.
Golden has minimal street infrastructure with only Line Street appearing in delivery records. The two rural carrier routes and seven total ZIP+4 records reflect a community where postal delivery follows rural patterns rather than urban grid layouts. The presence of named building records for the Postmaster facility indicates the post office itself serves as a key address reference point.
