Key Facts
  • With only 52 residents across 89 square miles, Belden has one of the lowest population densities in California—less than one person per square mile.
  • The post office maintains just 5 PO Boxes for 26 households, giving it a 0.19 adoption rate that shows most residents get street delivery.
  • State Highway 70 accounts for most delivery addresses in the ZIP code, with the highway serving as the community's primary street.
  • Nearly 37% of housing units sit vacant, with about half of those being seasonal vacation properties in this mountain region.
  • The ZIP code has zero recorded business establishments, making it purely residential with no commercial mail delivery needs.
  • At a median age of 37, Belden's population is slightly younger than the typical California community.

Housing and Demographics

Of the 41 total housing units here, 15 sit vacant. Eight of those are seasonal properties, which makes sense for a mountain area that sees winter snow and summer visitors. The median age is 37, slightly younger than California's average. The community doesn't have much commercial activity—zero business establishments recorded in the ZIP code data. Belden County Road branches off the highway, but State Highway 70 is clearly the main artery through this isolated area.
