The community's makeup reflects western Pennsylvania patterns: 83 white residents, a median age of 43.9 years, and a demographic profile that looks like many small towns between Johnstown and the Bedford County line. All 48 occupied housing units show full occupancy with no seasonal vacancies. This isn't a second-home community or vacation retreat. It's permanent residents plus a postal draw that extends beyond town limits.
Street delivery exists here through both urban and rural routes, but the PO Box count suggests many surrounding addresses prefer or require box service. When carrier routes can't reach every residence efficiently, a central post office fills the gap. The 118 boxes serve local households plus customers from areas where street delivery isn't available or practical. That's the reality in rural Pennsylvania, where population density doesn't always justify door-to-door service.
Elton Road concentrates the most delivery activity with seven ZIP+4 records, followed by Forest Hills Drive and Centennial Drive with three each. Mount Airy Drive and Old Bedford Pike each show two records, while another dozen streets appear once in postal databases. The mix of named subdivisions and rural roads reflects development patterns common to this part of Cambria County, where newer residential pockets sit alongside older country roads.
Street names mix rural Pennsylvania roads like Old Bedford Pike with subdivision-style development (Forest Hills Drive, Centennial Drive), reflecting gradual residential growth in a historically rural area. Elton Road dominates delivery activity, while newer named streets show lighter usage.
