Overview

Understanding ZIP code 99575

ZIP code 99575 is assigned to Crooked Creek, AK, and falls within Bethel Census Area. 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 18 people live inside it.

Living here

What life in Crooked Creek looks like

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 100.0% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1991, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. The vacancy rate of 43.8% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.

The population skews broadly in line with the national age profile, with a median age of 36.5 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.0 people, and 77.8% are family households.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Crooked Creek, AK

99575 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 1697.7 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 99575 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 99575 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, 99575 offers a compact profile of Crooked Creek: 18 residents, 0.0% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 91.7%. 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. 99575 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Crooked 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.

Does 99575 cover more than one city or county?
This page lists Crooked Creek as the primary place and Bethel Census Area as the county.

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. The Census Bureau's ZCTA definitions, which underpin the demographic figures on this page, are redrawn only once a decade, so the two can drift apart between censuses.

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. This page reports data for ZCTA 99575, the Census approximation of the USPS delivery area.
