Blandburg sits in rural Cambria County, Pennsylvania, where the post office is the only way to receive mail. This is a PO Box Only Zone.

Street names tell the story of this Appalachian community. Railroad Street and Sawmill Road point to the extractive industries that built these hills. Post Office Avenue runs past the facility that handles all local mail. Most homes (81%) were built before 1939, back when coal and timber drove the local economy. Today the housing stock remains, even as the industries have faded.
Residents here are working-class and rooted. Only 6.3% hold a bachelor's degree. The median household income sits at $73,036, respectable for rural Pennsylvania. What stands out is the workforce: 116 of the working residents, a large share for such a small population, work in transportation and warehousing. These are truck drivers, warehouse workers, and logistics employees serving distribution centers in the region. The median age of 50.2 years and 84% homeownership rate suggest a stable, aging community where families have stayed for generations.
Street names reflect both industrial history (Railroad St, Sawmill Rd) and the hilly Appalachian terrain (Skyline Dr, Firetower Rd).
