Bairoil sits in the high desert of Sweetwater County, Wyoming, a tiny community of 68 people spread across 40 square miles. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery. The 44 PO Boxes at the local post office serve 48 households, a 92% adoption rate that shows almost everyone relies on them.
The median age here is 60.3 years, making Bairoil older than most Wyoming communities. Only 2 children under 18 live in the entire ZIP code. A third of workers are employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities, likely connected to oil and gas operations in the region. Nearly half the workforce (48%) works from home, an unusually high rate for such a remote area.
Street names paint a picture of the landscape: Antelope Drive, Elk Court, Deer Court, Badger Circle. Wyoming wildflowers appear too, with Indian Paintbrush Avenue, Blue Bell Avenue, Lupine Circle, and Iris Avenue. Beebe Avenue stands out as the only street without a nature theme.
Rural carrier routes handle mail delivery outside PO Boxes, with one rural route and one highway contract route serving the area. The USPS also recognizes "Lamont" as a name associated with this ZIP, though it isn't valid for mailing addresses. Rent averages $718 per month, and per capita income is about $29,000.
Street names celebrate Wyoming wildlife (Antelope, Deer, Elk, Badger) and wildflowers (Indian Paintbrush, Blue Bell, Lupine, Iris).
