Overview
Understanding ZIP code 58204
ZIP code 58204 is assigned to Grand Forks Afb, ND, and falls within Grand Forks 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 1,879 people live inside it.
At 1,541 residents per square mile spread over 1.219 square miles, 58204 reads as a suburban 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.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $72,955 puts 58204 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 55% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Practical uses

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.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 58204 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Grand Forks Afb 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.
