Rehoboth, New Mexico sits in McKinley County, where 706 of 826 residents (85%) are Native American. This small community near the eastern edge of the Navajo Nation serves as a PO Box Only Zone across its 12.3 square mile territory. There's no alternative mail delivery option. Every resident relies on the post office.
The post office maintains 217 PO Boxes for 232 households. That's a 93.5% adoption rate. With 3.6 people per household, extended family living arrangements are common here, typical of Navajo communities where multi-generational households are the norm.
Rural carrier route delivery reaches some addresses, but this remains a PO Box Only Zone. Street names blend Navajo heritage with local landmarks: Tse Yaaniichi Street uses the Navajo language, while E Historic Highway 66 references the famous Route 66 corridor passing through this area. Other roads like Hogback Road and Superman Canyon Road take their names from nearby geographic features.
Home values are modest. The median is $55,300, and 95% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (220 of 232 households). Median household income stands at $43,864. Of employed residents, 65 work in educational services and health care, while 148 work in transportation and warehousing, likely tied to the proximity of Interstate 40 and the Route 66 corridor.
This isn't reservation land in the traditional sense, but the overwhelming Native American majority and high PO Box reliance tell a familiar story. When addressing mail to Rehoboth, the PO Box is required. The median age of 32.5 years indicates a younger population compared to many rural New Mexico communities.
Street names blend Navajo heritage with Route 66 history and local canyon and ridge geography.
ZIP Code 87322 has 826 residents and 232 households (average 3.56 persons per household). The median age is 32.5 years, younger than the state (39.2) and younger than the nation (38.8).
