Mather is a small town in Greene County, Pennsylvania, where PO Box mail is the only option. The USPS designates this as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery for the 670 residents across this compact 0.94 square mile area. The post office maintains 289 PO Boxes for 277 households, a 1.04 adoption rate that shows nearly universal reliance on box mail with some additional boxes serving surrounding areas.
The town's numbered street grid (1st through 8th Streets, plus Circle Street and School Street) suggests an established community layout. A few streets have apartment units, particularly 3rd Street and 7th Street, but the vast majority of the 315 housing units are single-family homes. Homeownership is strong at 90%, with 249 of 277 occupied homes owner-occupied.
Mather's demographics paint a picture of a working-class community. Median household income is $47,500, and median home values are $88,000. The median age of 46.9 years indicates an established population rather than young families or retirees. Only 8% of adults hold bachelor's degrees. The population is 98% white, with 14% Hispanic or Latino residents.
Mail delivery combines limited city carrier service (1 city route) with rural carrier routes serving the surrounding area. This mixed delivery pattern is typical of small towns where the compact core has some urban characteristics while outlying homes receive rural delivery. However, because this is a PO Box Only Zone, all residents use post office boxes regardless of location.
With just 5 business establishments employing 15 people, Mather isn't a major employment center. Many residents commute elsewhere for work. Greene County's economy has historically centered on coal mining and agriculture, and small towns like Mather serve as residential communities for workers in the region.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box:
