Putnam sits in Callahan County, a tiny West Texas community with just 88 residents and 34 households. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the community's 0.12 square mile footprint. The post office maintains 46 PO Boxes for those 34 homes, an adoption rate of 1.35 that shows the facility also serves people from surrounding rural areas who travel to Putnam to collect their mail.
Rural carrier routes handle limited street delivery within the community. Just three streets appear in postal records: W Travis St with six delivery points, FM 880 S with two, and W Paraltow St with one. Most residents rely on their PO Box as the primary mailing address. The compact geography and rural character make centralized box delivery more practical than extensive carrier routes.
Median age is 50.5 years, and 85% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That points to an established, aging population with deep roots. Median household income sits at $59,000. About 20% of the housing stock (9 of 45 units) is used seasonally or occasionally, a moderately high rate for such a small community. The post office serves as the central mail access point for this quiet corner of rural Texas.
Three streets with minimal delivery points reflect the compact, rural character of this small West Texas community.
