Georgetown sits at 8,500 feet in Clear Creek County, Colorado, about 45 miles west of Denver. This historic mining town of 1,171 residents maintains 723 PO Boxes, serving not just local households but the surrounding mountain territory. With a population-to-household ratio of 2.04, Georgetown is a typical small community of families and individuals rather than an institutional setting.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No street delivery service exists across the 22.5 square mile territory. Residents receive mail through one rural carrier route and one highway contract route, but most rely on PO Boxes at the Georgetown post office. The adoption rate of 1.26 (723 boxes for 574 households) shows that the post office serves beyond just local residents, including seasonal property owners and nearby mountain communities.
Georgetown's street grid preserves its 19th-century mining town layout. Numbered streets run from 2nd to 15th, while streets like Argentine St (34 delivery points), Clear Creek Dr (24 points), and Taos St (9 points) reference the area's mining heritage and geography. Argentine St leads toward the historic Argentine Pass, once a vital mining route. The town's 807 housing units include 183 seasonal or recreational properties (23% vacancy rate), indicating Georgetown's dual character as both a year-round community and a mountain retreat.
The median age of 43.8 years and median home value of $440,000 indicate an established community with significant real estate appreciation. About 24% of workers work from home, higher than the national average, suggesting remote workers who've chosen this mountain setting. The town supports 57 business establishments employing 925 people, meaning Georgetown punches above its weight as an employment center for the region.
