Strawberry sits in California's high Sierra Nevada, a tiny community of 113 year-round residents at over 5,000 feet elevation in Tuolumne County. But the year-round population tells only part of the story. Of the 430 housing units here, 365 are seasonal vacation homes, meaning 85% of properties sit vacant most of the year. This is a place that comes alive in summer and retreats to solitude in winter.
With a median age of 63.6 years, this isn't a typical mountain town. It's a retirement and vacation community where retirees and second-home owners have chosen the Sierra high country for its peace and natural beauty. The small household size of 1.88 people reflects couples and singles, not families with children. Only 7 residents are under age 18.
The community operates with a Community Post Office (the smallest USPS facility type) on Herring Creek Lane, the area's only named street. Interestingly, this ZIP is classified as PO Box only, yet has 0 actual PO Boxes listed in postal records. General Delivery is available for those without established addresses. The postal system also recognizes Pinecrest as an acceptable mailing name, likely referencing the nearby Pinecrest Lake recreation area.
Education levels are exceptionally high. Among the 65 adults aged 25 and over, 97% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. This points to a community of professionals who've chosen mountain living for their later years or seasonal retreat. Per capita income of $43,272 and the prevalence of second homes suggest comfortable, if not wealthy, residents who value access to outdoor recreation over urban amenities.
Only one street appears in postal records, typical of a very small mountain community.
