LeFlore, Oklahoma sits in Le Flore County with 150 residents and a single post office that's the only delivery option for this community. The 86 PO Boxes outnumber the 59 occupied households, which means this isn't just a local facility. People from surrounding areas come here for mail service, pushing the adoption rate to 1.46 times the local household count.
The ZIP code covers just 0.015 square miles, but the delivery pattern tells a different story. Three rural carrier routes serve the area alongside one general delivery route, indicating the post office reaches beyond the tiny geographic footprint shown on maps. There's one street with carrier service: E State St. That's it. No city routes, no highway contract routes. Just rural delivery and PO Boxes.
Of the 150 people here, 46 are Native American. That's 31% of the population, well above the state average. The median age is 35, and households average 2.5 people. The median household income sits at $40,000, with a median home value of $66,900. Eight businesses operate in the ZIP code, though none show up in the establishment count data.
The post office doesn't just serve LeFlore. With 86 boxes for 59 households, it's clear that residents from areas without carrier delivery travel here. That's common in rural Oklahoma, where carrier routes can't reach every homestead. The high PO Box count isn't a failure of infrastructure. It's a recognition that for scattered rural populations, a central post office often works better than trying to route carriers down every dirt road and private drive.
With only E State St receiving carrier service, this ZIP code shows the minimal street infrastructure typical of rural Oklahoma communities where PO Box service dominates.
ZIP Code 74942 has 150 residents and 59 households (average 2.54 persons per household). The median age is 35.0 years, slightly younger than the state (37.3) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.7% male and 49.3% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (62.0%, slightly lower than the state average of 63.5%) and American Indian & Alaska Native (30.7%, much higher than the state average of 8.4% and well above the national average of 1.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 2.7%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (8.4%) and national averages (1.1%).
