Severance sits in Weld County, Colorado, about 8 miles east of Fort Collins. This tiny town of 306 people covers just 0.14 square miles, but the Severance post office serves a much larger rural area. With 179 PO Boxes for 112 households, the adoption rate of 1.6 shows the post office handles mail for farms and residences beyond the town limits. It's a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative to picking up mail here.
The street grid tells the story of an old Colorado town. Numbered streets and avenues (1st Street, 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 4th Avenue) make up the core. Named streets like Central Avenue, Ruth Avenue, and Vivian Street add character. About 39% of the housing stock dates to before 1939, so the original town layout has survived.
This isn't a bedroom community. The median age is 34.4 years, and 92% of households own their homes. Education levels run high for a small town: 52% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The mix of city carrier routes and rural routes confirms what the map suggests. A compact walkable town center is surrounded by farmland that depends on the same post office.
Fort Collins is the nearest city, with neighborhoods like Morningside and Fossil Lake about 8 miles west. Severance may be small, but it functions as the postal hub for this corner of Weld County's agricultural landscape.
