Yolo, California gave its name to Yolo County but today it's a tiny farming community of just 396 people in the Sacramento Valley. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery for residents, making the post office at the center of town the only option for receiving mail.
The Yolo post office maintains 277 PO Boxes for a community with 142 households. That 1.95-to-1 ratio means nearly twice as many boxes as local homes exist here. Surrounding farms and rural properties rely on Yolo's post office for their mail since carrier delivery doesn't reach them.
Yolo has the character of a small California agricultural town. Streets follow a simple grid: 1st through 5th, plus Sacramento Street, Washington Street, Clay Street, and Jackson Street. County Road 17 and Cacheville Road connect to surrounding farmland. There are no apartment complexes (0 multi-family units) and just one single-family delivery point registered in postal data, consistent with a PO Box-dependent community.
The workforce tells the story of Central Valley agriculture. Of the workers in this ZIP, the largest group (82) works in transportation, warehousing, or utilities. Six local business establishments employ 730 people combined, far more than the resident population. These are likely agricultural operations and packing facilities drawing workers from surrounding areas. Per capita income sits at $12,163, well below state and national averages. About 68% of residents were born outside the United States. Median age is 41.4 years, and renters outnumber homeowners (82 renter-occupied vs. 60 owner-occupied units).
Classic small town grid pattern with numbered streets (1st-5th) and civic names (Sacramento, Washington, Clay, Jackson) reflecting 19th-century California settlement patterns.
ZIP Code 95697 has 396 residents and 142 households (average 2.79 persons per household). The median age is 41.4 years, older than the state (37.5) and slightly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 49.5% male and 50.5% female, which is about the same as the national male share (49.1%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are Hispanic or Latino (75.0%) and Other / Two or More Races (41.4%, much higher than the state average of 21.2% and well above the national average of 8.4%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 75.0%, which is much higher than the national average (18.7%), and Other / Two or More Races share is much higher than both the state (21.2%) and national averages (8.4%).
