Artesia Wells is a tiny rural location in La Salle County, Texas, with just 4 residents living in 4 households. Despite its PO Box classification, this ZIP doesn't have any PO Boxes and receives mail through a single rural carrier route serving S FM 469 (Farm to Market Road 469).
The most striking feature is the contrast between residential and commercial activity. While only 4 people live here, the area contains 5 business establishments employing 199 people. This pattern is typical of rural Texas energy corridors, where oil and gas operations or agricultural businesses create employment centers in sparsely populated areas.
All 4 housing units are owner-occupied with no seasonal or rental properties. The median age of 9.5 years suggests young children, likely representing a single family living in this remote La Salle County location. Census data isn't detailed enough for reliable economic statistics given the extremely small population.
