Key Facts
  • The post office maintains 36 PO Boxes to serve just 1 occupied household locally, indicating it serves a much larger regional area
  • With a PO Box adoption rate of 36.0, this facility serves customers from surrounding rural areas without street delivery options
  • This is classified as a true PO Box Only zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery system for the area
  • Despite having only 6 residents, the ZIP code supports 6 businesses employing 15 people
  • The area covers 10.493 square miles of land, with one rural carrier route serving the dispersed population
  • Census data shows a median age of 9.5 years among the 6 residents, suggesting young ranch families

Mail Service for a Dispersed Rural Area

The single occupied household and minimal population don't tell the full story. People travel to this post office from surrounding ranches, farms, and unincorporated areas without carrier delivery options. The zip4_summary data shows one street route on W FM 580 and the POSTMASTER building, but the real service happens through those 36 boxes serving customers across a dispersed rural landscape.

True PO Box Only Service

This is a true PO Box Only zone. There's no alternative delivery system here. For residents and businesses in the surrounding area, this post office provides the only reliable mail service. The DeliveryMixType is listed as "Rural" with one rural carrier route, but the overwhelming dominance of PO Box service (36 boxes serving a regional area) defines how mail actually works in this part of Texas.

The Numbers Behind the Service

The census data reflects the immediate postal area with a median age of 9.5 years and a population of just 6 people—likely one or two ranch families. But the postal infrastructure tells a different story. With 6 businesses using this ZIP code and 15 people employed through those establishments, Bend functions as more than a residential community. It's a service point in a county where ranch land stretches across miles and the nearest city delivery is towns away.

Street Name Patterns

Farm To Market Road Minimal Street Infrastructure

The single street record on W FM 580 (a Farm to Market road) reflects the rural, ranch-oriented character of this area. Most delivery happens through PO Boxes rather than street addresses, typical of dispersed rural Texas communities where ranches and farms are accessed via county roads and private drives rather than named streets.
