The ZIP code covers just 0.047 square miles of southern Bee County, making it one of the smallest postal territories in Texas. Despite this compact footprint, the community relies entirely on PO Box service. There's one rural carrier route serving FM 673, the only street with recorded delivery points, but the overwhelming dominance of box holders over street addresses indicates most mail moves through the post office lobby rather than carrier delivery.
Pawnee sits in a region where 12% of adults lack a high school diploma, and the median household income of $31,563 falls below state and national averages. The median age of 49.3 years skews older than Texas overall. Nearly all housing consists of single-family detached homes, with 24 of the 33 occupied households being owner-occupied. The median home value wasn't reported in recent surveys, suggesting a very small sample size typical of communities this size.
The post office's regional function becomes clear when comparing infrastructure to population. With 12 business establishments employing just 46 people across the broader service area, this isn't a commercial center. The high PO Box adoption rate instead points to rural residents from surrounding unincorporated areas who travel to Pawnee because their properties don't receive carrier delivery. In areas where homes sit on large tracts with unpaved or private roads, a PO Box at the nearest post office often provides the most reliable mail service.
The presence of only FM 673 (Farm to Market Road 673) in delivery records reflects Pawnee's agricultural setting in rural Bee County, where state-maintained farm roads connect small communities and ranches.
ZIP Code 78145 has 83 residents and 33 households (average 2.52 persons per household). The median age is 49.3 years, significantly older than the state (35.6) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 48.2% male and 51.8% female, which is slightly lower than the state male share (49.4%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are Hispanic or Latino (74.7%) and White (57.8%, much higher than the state average of 50.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 74.7%, which is much higher than the national average (18.7%).
