Overview

Understanding ZIP code 59830

ZIP code 59830 is assigned to De Borgia, MT, and falls within Mineral 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 102 people live inside it.

At 1 residents per square mile spread over 108.123 square miles, 59830 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.

Living here

What life in De Borgia looks like

Housing in 59830 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $318,800 against a US median of $207,500. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 52.0% 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 93.1% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1991, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. The vacancy rate of 30.6% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.

The population skews older than the national median, with a median age of 50.5 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.04 people, and 90.0% are family households.

Getting to work takes 5.0 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is worked from home at 58.3% of workers, while 58.3% 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 De Borgia, MT

59830 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 320.9 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.

Availability and pricing change constantly, so the live search below will give you a more accurate picture than any figure we could publish here. It opens results for this area on Booking.com.

Practical uses

What ZIP code 59830 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 59830 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, 59830 offers a compact profile of De Borgia: 102 residents, 77.5% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 61.3%. 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. 59830 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in De Borgia 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.
