The ZIP covers 17.3 square miles of Sierra County mountain landscape. Only 45 people live within the ZIP boundary itself, but the post office serves a much wider network. One city carrier route and four rural carrier routes reach into the surrounding wilderness, delivering to a handful of properties on roads like Goodyears Creek Road and Mountain House Road. Most delivery points remain PO Box addresses at the post office itself.
This is officially designated as a PO Box Only zone with no alternative delivery. The classification reflects geographic reality: these mountains don't support conventional mail delivery infrastructure. Residents accepted this arrangement long before zip codes existed. The median age of 52.3 suggests a population that's adapted to mountain living rather than young families seeking suburban convenience.
The 2020 census counted 30 housing units but only 22 occupied. Seven sit vacant for seasonal use, and one serves recreational purposes. These aren't vacation homes in the resort sense but rather hunting cabins, family retreats, and off-grid properties that owners visit periodically. The post office provides the permanent address these part-time residents need for property ownership and vehicle registration.
The postal system recognizes five distinct streets for mail sorting: Post Office Spur serves the facility itself, while Pine Tree Lane, Goodyears Creek Road, Mountain House Road, and Rollins Ranch Road connect scattered mountain properties. The single named building in postal records is simply "Postmaster," indicating no commercial structures or apartment complexes exist within the ZIP boundary. Two businesses operate in the area, likely small mountain services or seasonal operations.
Street names reflect Sierra Nevada geography and scattered mountain settlement. Each road serves as a lone connection to isolated properties rather than a residential street with multiple addresses. Post Office Spur leads to the mail facility itself, while roads named for natural features (Goodyears Creek) and historic structures (Mountain House, Rollins Ranch) connect to properties dispersed across steep terrain.
ZIP Code 95944 has 45 residents and 22 households (average 2.05 persons per household).

The gender split is 64.4% male and 35.6% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (88.9%, much higher than the state average of 41.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (13.3%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 13.3%, which is much lower than the state average (39.4%).
