Notrees sits in the Permian Basin of west Texas, 238 square miles of oil country where the name itself describes the landscape. This unincorporated community in Ector County has a population of 81 people living in 15 households, all owner-occupied homes.
Mail delivery here operates through highway contract routes rather than traditional carrier service. The post office maintains just 6 PO Boxes for the local population. With an adoption rate of 40%, most residents receive mail via highway route delivery along W Highway 302, the main corridor through the community.
This isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery exists via a single highway contract route (Route H) serving addresses along W Highway 302, S Marian Dr, 2nd St, and 3rd St. The highway delivery pattern is typical for remote oil patch communities where population density is too low for traditional city or rural carrier routes.
The ZIP code was established before October 2004 and covers 238.6 square miles of sparsely populated ranch and oil field territory. With fewer than 100 residents across that vast area, Census economic data isn't available due to the small sample size. The median age of 34.5 years and zero rental housing suggest a stable population of working families and older residents who own their home.
Mail can be addressed to either PO Box numbers or street addresses:
Street addresses concentrate along W Highway 302, the main corridor through this highway delivery community.
