Lockwood sits in southeastern Monterey County where rural routes stretch across nearly four square miles of California ranchland. The post office here maintains 308 PO Boxes for just 197 occupied households, an adoption rate of 1.56 that signals something important: this post office doesn't just serve Lockwood residents.
The high box count makes sense in this landscape. With rural carrier routes covering vast stretches of Jolon Road and the surrounding area, many ranchers and outlying residents find it more practical to collect mail at the post office than wait for delivery across long distances. The 533 residents here live spread out, with only two streets receiving dedicated ZIP+4 records.
This is working ranch country where practical infrastructure matters more than convenience. The median household income of $95,774 reflects stable agricultural employment, while the median home value of $550,000 indicates land value rather than suburban development. About 20 people work from home, likely ranchers and farm managers who live where they work.
The 67% Hispanic population shapes the community's character, typical of Monterey County's agricultural regions. With a median age of 43.8 years, this isn't a retirement community or a young family suburb. It's a working landscape where the post office serves as a central point for a dispersed population that depends on reliable mail service across challenging rural geography.
With only two named streets in the ZIP+4 system, Lockwood's mail infrastructure reflects a sparse rural pattern where most delivery happens via rural carrier routes rather than traditional street addressing. Jolon Road is the main artery through this ranch country.
ZIP Code 93932 has 533 residents and 197 households (average 2.71 persons per household). The median age is 43.8 years, older than the state (37.5) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 53.7% male and 46.3% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (67.4%, much higher than the state average of 41.2%) and Hispanic or Latino (28.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 28.9%, which is much lower than the state average (39.4%), and Other / Two or More Races share is much higher than the national average (8.4%).
