ZIP 58849, the Ray post office ZIP, had 40 employer establishments in 2023, 72.5% of them with fewer than five employees (ZIP Code Business Patterns).

Alexander, ND and Arnegard, ND: McKenzie County, ND ZIP Figures and Requests

Alexander, ND and Arnegard, ND are in McKenzie County, ND, not Williams County, so the Williams County figures on this site do not describe them. Alexander is about 21 miles south of the office and Arnegard about 25 miles south-southeast, in a straight line.

ZIP 58831, the Alexander post office ZIP, had 54 employer establishments in 2023, 12 of them in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction. ZIP 58835, the Arnegard post office ZIP, had 39, 10 of them in that sector and 7 in construction (ZIP Code Business Patterns). Both towns cover well under 1% of their ZIP's land, so these are ZIP figures, not town counts.
