Overview
Understanding ZIP code 05141
ZIP code 05141 is assigned to Cambridgeport, VT, and falls within Windham County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 116 people live inside it.
At 297 residents per square mile spread over 0.391 square miles, 05141 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Living here
What life in Cambridgeport looks like
Housing in 05141 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $253,600 against a US median of $207,500. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 66.1% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 70.1% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1991, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.
The population skews considerably older than the national median, with a median age of 73.2 against 42 nationally. Households average just 1.97 people, and 33.9% consist of one person living alone — a signature of areas with a lot of studio and one-bedroom stock.
Getting to work takes 15.0 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is carpooled at 38.1% of workers, while 28.6% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Cambridgeport, VT
Cambridgeport is a smaller community, so options inside 05141 may be limited to a handful of independent inns, motels or bed-and-breakfast properties. Travellers often widen the search to the surrounding area, where the choice is greater and prices are usually competitive.
For reference, Boston, MA is about 94.1 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 05141 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 05141 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 05141 offers a compact profile of Cambridgeport: 116 residents, 21.2% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 05141 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Cambridgeport may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
