Two 2020-census places share a ZIP with a larger neighbor rather than carrying a unique one:
\nGold Hill and Foots Creek both use 97525, and Wimer shares Rogue River’s 97537. Buncom is the
\nbest known of the unincorporated names on this list without any resident population — it
\nis a single restored building, kept up by a local historical society that runs an annual Buncom
\nDay each July, not an active settlement.<\/p>\n
