Weimar's post office operates on a scale that defies its modest population. With 339 residents and 74 occupied households, the facility maintains 644 PO Boxes. That's an adoption rate of 8.70, meaning the post office serves nearly nine times as many boxes as local households. This isn't a mismatch. It's how mail works in rural Placer County.
The surrounding communities don't have carrier delivery. Residents from nearby areas without their own postal infrastructure travel to Weimar for mail service. The post office functions as a regional hub for a network of settlements scattered across the foothills between Auburn and Colfax. Those 644 boxes serve families, seasonal residents, and small businesses across a much wider geographic footprint than the tiny 0.231 square mile area officially designated as 95736.
Street delivery exists but barely. The ZIP has just two recorded street segments: Canyon Way and Weimar Cross Road. One named building appears in postal records: the Postmaster facility itself. The population of 339 lives in 74 occupied housing units, producing a household ratio of 4.58 people per home. That's higher than typical for California and suggests extended families or multi-generational households. The median age is 21.1 years, indicating a young population that contrasts with the retirement-heavy demographics common in nearby foothill communities.
The post office serves 68 businesses according to spatial data, though USPS records show just 17 establishments. Some operate from PO Boxes rather than physical storefronts. Work-from-home adoption is low at 40 households, but that's measured against occupied units, not boxes. Many box holders don't live in the immediate area. The median household income sits at $53,653, below California's statewide average but typical for rural Placer County. Housing data shows wide variability, with median values at $2,150 (likely incomplete census sampling given the small population base).
Weimar isn't a border town in the international sense. But it sits at a service border, the edge where traditional carrier delivery stops and PO Box-only mail begins. For residents spread across the rural expanse east of Interstate 80, this post office is the mail system. The high adoption rate doesn't signal a problem. It shows a facility doing exactly what it's designed to do: serve a region, not just a ZIP code.
Just two street segments serve the immediate area. Canyon Way and Weimar Cross Road represent the minimal street infrastructure of a community where postal service centers on PO Boxes rather than carrier routes. The absence of numbered grids or extensive street networks reflects Weimar's role as a regional postal hub rather than a traditional residential subdivision.
ZIP Code 95736 has 339 residents and 74 households (average 2.93 persons per household). The median age is 21.1 years, significantly younger than the state (37.5) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 62.8% male and 37.2% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (63.4%, much higher than the state average of 41.2%) and Hispanic or Latino (14.2%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 14.2%, which is much lower than the state average (39.4%).
