  • 65% of the 79 housing units are vacant most of the year, indicating Jarbidge functions primarily as a seasonal retreat
  • This ZIP spans 239 square miles of remote northeastern Nevada territory near the Idaho border
  • Jackpot was added as an accepted mailing alias in 2014, showing this post office serves multiple communities
  • Despite PO Box classification, the ZIP includes rural and highway carrier routes providing limited street delivery along Main Street
  • 68 of 79 housing units were built before 1939, and 51 are mobile homes, reflecting the area's mining history

A Seasonal Community

Jarbidge sits in Nevada's northeastern corner, 239 square miles of remote mountain territory near the Idaho border. Just 33 people live here year-round in 15 households, but 79 housing units dot the landscape. With 51 of those homes vacant most of the year (65%), Jarbidge transforms seasonally from quiet mining hamlet to busier summer retreat.

Why So Many PO Boxes?

The Jarbidge post office maintains 45 PO Boxes for 15 local households. That's a 3.0 adoption rate. This doesn't mean locals need three boxes each. Instead, the boxes serve seasonal homeowners, visitors, and residents from the surrounding backcountry who travel to Jarbidge for mail access. Rural and highway carrier routes also operate here, providing limited street delivery along Main Street and to scattered properties.

Serving Multiple Communities

Jackpot, Nevada's border casino town, became an accepted mailing alias in July 2014. Mail addressed to either Jarbidge or Jackpot arrives at this post office, indicating it serves multiple communities across northern Elko County's vast distances.

A Historic Outpost

At 40.5 years, the median age sits close to the national average. The 79 housing units include 68 built before 1939 and 51 classified as mobile homes, pointing to the area's mining heritage and seasonal use patterns. No business establishments are recorded in census data, reinforcing Jarbidge's character as a residential outpost rather than a commercial center.
