Round Mountain sits in rural Shasta County, California, along Highway 299 east of Redding. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery alternative for the 515 residents here. The post office maintains 258 PO Boxes for 243 households, an adoption rate of 1.06 that shows every household needs a box and a few outlying properties rely on this office too.
At 54.3 years, the median age runs well above California's average. Small households of about 2.1 people and an 85.6% homeownership rate point to retirees and empty nesters who've settled in this quiet mountain community. Only 9 children under 18 live in the entire ZIP code.
Work patterns tell an interesting story. Over 27% of workers do their jobs from home. That's nearly triple the national average. Combined with the older population and rural setting, Round Mountain functions as a remote-work retreat for those who don't need to commute. The median household income of $39,141 sits below state averages, but with modest home values around $277,100 and no mortgage payment for many longtime residents, the cost of living works.
The road network consists of Highway 299 and a handful of rural roads like Terry Mill Road and Frisby Road. Mobile homes make up a notable portion of the housing stock, with 80 units scattered across the 12.4 square mile territory. Bella Vista is 8 miles away. Millville sits 10 miles out. For groceries or medical care, most residents drive to Redding.
Highway 299 serves as the main artery through this rural community, with a few named rural roads providing local access.
