The ZIP's delivery infrastructure relies entirely on rural routes. Two distinct rural carrier routes handle street delivery along W Redwater Blvd and other addresses, while 15 ZIP+4 records are designated for PO Box service. No city carrier routes exist here. The classification as a PO Box ZIP doesn't mean residents lack options—it means this ZIP code's identity centers on the post office facility itself, with carrier routes serving the broader area under different ZIP codes.
Redwater sits in northeast Texas, just miles from the Arkansas border. The town's 275 residents live in a landscape of 6.9 square miles of land and 2.2 square miles of water, suggesting proximity to lakes or reservoirs. The median age of 31.6 years skews younger than typical rural Texas communities, while the median household income of $67,188 sits comfortably above poverty thresholds despite the town's small size.
The community shows demographic diversity uncommon in towns this small. While 88% of residents identify as white, 10% are Hispanic or Latino, and 5% are Black or African American. Housing stock is modest but stable: 107 of the town's 111 total housing units are occupied year-round. There are no seasonal vacation properties here. The post office recorded 29 business customers and 6 establishments with 32 employees, pointing to a working landscape of small operations—likely agriculture, retail, or services supporting the surrounding county.
Only one street appears in the delivery database: W Redwater Blvd. The minimal street diversity reflects Redwater's role as a post office-centered facility serving a dispersed rural population rather than a dense street grid.
