Ramey is a small borough in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where PO Boxes aren't just convenient, they're necessary. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery for residents across the 2.4 square mile community. The post office maintains 249 boxes for 216 households, a 115% adoption rate that shows some families hold multiple boxes or people from neighboring areas rely on the Ramey post office.
The borough has deep industrial roots. Street names like Railroad Street, Mill Street, Market Street, and Union Street point to Ramey's history as a coal mining community. Most homes here predate 1940: 91% of the housing stock (230 of 252 units) was built before 1939. These older homes sit in a compact grid typical of Pennsylvania's former coal towns.
Residents tend to stay put. Owner-occupied housing stands at 91% (196 of 216 households), and the population is almost entirely U.S.-born (99.5%). Median age is 45.5 years, and household income sits at $58,750, which is close to the national median. Home values average $98,100, making Ramey affordable by most standards.
The local economy has an unusual feature: 34% of workers report working from home, a high percentage for a rural Pennsylvania borough. Transportation and warehousing employs the largest share of the workforce (143 workers), likely tied to the logistics industry in the broader region. Just 5 business establishments operate within the ZIP code, employing 9 people locally. For everything else, residents commute out or rely on delivery services, all routed through their PO Boxes.
Street names reflect a classic Pennsylvania coal town: Main, Market, Mill, Railroad, and Union streets form the historic core.
ZIP Code 16671 has 491 residents and 216 households (average 2.27 persons per household). The median age is 45.5 years, older than the state (41.0) and older than the nation (38.8).
