Red Bluff ZIP codes at a glance
Red Bluff has one main ZIP code, 96080, which covers the city and a wide rural area around it. Zillow and Redfin also file a second, much smaller ZIP, 96075, under Red Bluff; ZIP lookup data place it at Paynes Creek. Confirm any address on the USPS ZIP Code Lookup. Zillow's typical home value covers every home in a ZIP, while Redfin's median sale price covers only homes that sold in the three months to September 2026, so the two appear in separate columns and should not be compared with each other.

What to check: wells, septic and the school district, since the county tax rate list shows Antelope, Evergreen, Reeds Creek and Lassen View areas around the city.
ZIP 96075: Paynes Creek
96075 is a small rural ZIP that ZIP lookup data place at Paynes Creek. The Census counts just 221 residents and 146 homes, with a median year built of 1970 and 27 mobile homes. Zillow's typical value was $153,356 in September 2026, up 8.1% in a year, but with so few homes that figure can swing widely, and Redfin reports no recent sales. The Census median home value of $53,200 comes from a very small sample, so treat it as a rough guide only. What to check: road access, well and septic, fire exposure and insurance availability, which matter more than the median on a remote parcel.
