Elmora is a small unincorporated community in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, where the post office serves as a regional mail hub for surrounding rural areas. With 220 PO Boxes supporting just 78 local households, the adoption rate of 2.82 means the post office maintains nearly three times as many boxes as there are homes in the immediate area.
