ZIP code 86028 serves Petrified Forest National Park in northeastern Arizona, covering 111 square miles of protected desert landscape in Apache County. This isn't a residential community. It's a National Park Service facility ZIP where rangers and park staff receive mail.
Just 34 people live within the ZCTA boundary, with a median age of 62.5 years. These are primarily park personnel and their families. The post office maintains 10 PO Boxes for 5 households, resulting in an adoption rate of 2.0x. This higher-than-expected box count serves seasonal workers, contractors, and administrative needs beyond the handful of permanent residents.
Of the 25 total housing units, only 5 are occupied year-round. The remaining 20 units are vacant, with 5 classified as seasonal or recreational use. This pattern fits park employee housing, where units remain available for temporary assignments or remain unused during staffing gaps. All 5 occupied units are renter-occupied, consistent with National Park Service housing.
Mail delivery follows Highway Contract Route delivery patterns, appropriate for the remote desert location along Interstate 40. The single street address on record is Park Road, which serves the park's administrative facilities. All residential mail goes to PO Boxes, while the highway route handles park operations.
This isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery exists in nearby Holbrook, Arizona, which appears as an accepted mailing alias. Holbrook, about 25 miles west, provides the nearest full-service post office for the region. The 86028 ZIP exists specifically to serve the National Park's mail needs within its boundaries.
