Hereford is one of Colorado's smallest incorporated communities, with just 25 residents and 17 households scattered across 2.9 square miles of northeastern Weld County. The town sits in agricultural country near the Wyoming border, surrounded by numbered county roads that connect scattered ranches and farms. Most of the housing stock dates to the town's early days. 15 of the 19 homes were built before 1939.
The Hereford post office serves as a regional mail hub despite the town's tiny size. It maintains 29 PO Boxes for 17 local households, a 1.71 adoption rate that indicates service extending well beyond town limits. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the surrounding rural territory. Residents from outlying ranches and farms travel to Hereford to collect mail, packages, and supplies.
Mail delivery follows a mixed pattern typical of small agricultural communities. The post office operates both a city carrier route serving the town center (Broadway, Hereford Street, and a few nearby addresses) and a rural route covering the county roads that radiate outward. Most addresses fall on numbered Weld County roads like County Road 390, County Road 136, and County Road 81. The ZIP+4 data shows 12 distinct streets, though many are rural routes rather than traditional town streets.
The community skews working-age, with a median age of 31.5 years. All 17 occupied homes are owner-occupied. There are no renters. Per capita income stands at $10,341, and among the 17 adults age 25 and older, none hold a bachelor's degree. The nearest metro area is Cheyenne, Wyoming, about 10 miles north. Nearby subdivisions like Crow Creek Ranches (7.5 miles) and Cheyenne Shadows (8.1 miles) represent newer development across the state line.
Hereford's ZIP code classification as PO Box only dates to before October 2004, when USPS tracking began. The classification reflects the town's historic role as a rural post office serving dispersed agricultural populations rather than concentrated residential development.
Street names mix a minimal town grid (Broadway, Hereford Street) with numbered county roads serving outlying agricultural areas.
ZIP Code 80732 has 25 residents and 17 households (average 1.47 persons per household). The median age is 31.5 years, younger than the state (37.2) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 56.0% male and 44.0% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (80.0%, much higher than the state average of 70.7% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (8.0%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 8.0%, which is much lower than the state average (21.9%).
