Four Lakes serves far beyond its own borders. With 72 residents and 33 households, this Spokane County community maintains 108 PO Boxes at its post office. That adoption rate of 3.27 means the facility provides mail service to more than three times the local population, drawing customers from surrounding rural areas where street delivery doesn't reach.
The ZIP covers just 0.005 square miles—a tiny footprint that makes it one of Washington's smallest postal zones by area. Yet the post office manages a mix of urban and rural carrier routes, including one city route and two distinct rural routes serving the broader region. This combination explains why PO Box demand extends well beyond Four Lakes' small residential base.
The community lies about 15 miles southwest of Spokane, positioned along State Route 904. Street delivery exists on four roads: S Electric Ave (with two ZIP+4 records), S State Rt 904, S Sancoren Ave, and W 1st Ave. One named building appears in postal records—the Postmaster facility itself. The limited street infrastructure reflects a compact settlement pattern where most addresses cluster near the post office.
For families scattered across the rural landscape between Spokane and Cheney, the Four Lakes post office functions as a regional anchor. The 2020 Census recorded a median age of 31.0 years, with 33 occupied housing units and no seasonal vacancies. All 15 households with occupation data showed zero commuters working from home, suggesting residents travel to jobs in nearby cities. The post office's high adoption rate isn't about local preference—it's about geographic necessity for neighbors who can't get mail any other way.
The four streets reflect a small roadside community along State Route 904, with Electric Ave serving as the primary delivery corridor. The minimal street network and single named building (Postmaster facility) indicate a compact postal settlement rather than a traditional town layout.
ZIP Code 99014 has 72 residents and 33 households (average 2.18 persons per household). The median age is 31.0 years, significantly younger than the state (38.1) and significantly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 61.1% male and 38.9% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (75.0%, much higher than the state average of 66.6% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (11.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 11.1%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
