Overview

Understanding ZIP code 59424

ZIP code 59424 is assigned to Coffee Creek, MT, and falls within Fergus 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 66 people live inside it.

At 1 residents per square mile spread over 81.56 square miles, 59424 reads as a rural 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 $82,946 puts 59424 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 68% 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.

Living here

What life in Coffee Creek looks like

Housing in 59424 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $265,400 against a US median of $207,500. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 62.1% 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 58.6% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1960, making the housing here mid-century. At 0.0%, vacancy is low — housing here is tightly held.

The population skews notably young, with a median age of 28.1 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.28 people, and 55.2% are family households.

Getting to work takes 9.5 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 88.0% of workers, while 12.0% 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 Coffee Creek, MT

59424 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.

For reference, Seattle, WA is about 570.5 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 59424 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 59424 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, 59424 offers a compact profile of Coffee Creek: 66 residents, a median household income of $82,946, 82.6% 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. 59424 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Coffee Creek 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.

Yes. USPS adjusts ZIP codes as delivery volumes shift — codes are occasionally split, merged, retired or newly created, and boundaries move more often than most people assume.

On accuracy. ACS figures are survey estimates, not counts. The margin of error shown alongside the population figure means the true value has a 90% chance of falling in that range. For small ZIP codes the error can be large relative to the estimate — treat the direction as more reliable than the exact number.
