Ducor sits in the foothills of Tulare County, California, where 979 people live across 9.2 square miles of rural territory. This is a PO Box Only Zone. No street delivery exists anywhere in the community. The Ducor post office maintains 298 PO Boxes for 251 households, meaning the facility serves residents from the surrounding area beyond the ZIP's boundaries.
Two rural carrier routes deliver to homes along numbered county roads like Avenue 56, Avenue 55, and Road 234. These routes cover just 44 delivery points, while most residents rely on PO Boxes for mail access. The pattern is typical for foothill communities where homes are spread across agricultural land and rural roads lack the addressing infrastructure needed for carrier delivery.
With a median household income of $88,750, Ducor sits well above California's rural averages. Yet only 11% of adults hold bachelor's degrees, and 31% work from home. These numbers point to a working community where people have found ways to earn solid incomes without traditional credentials. Nearly half the workforce travels by carpool, and a significant number work in transportation, warehousing, and utilities.
Ducor's population is notably diverse. Of 979 residents, 51% identify as Some Other Race and 21% as Two or More Races. The median age of 30.6 years indicates a younger community compared to many rural California towns. Households average 3.9 people, larger than typical for the state, suggesting multi-generational families or larger family units are common.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box:
