Weikert sits in rural Union County, Pennsylvania, where seasonal vacation homes outnumber year-round residences. Of the 233 housing units, 121 (52%) are used seasonally, giving this small community a population that fluctuates dramatically throughout the year. The year-round population of 221 residents swells during hunting and recreation seasons.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No street delivery exists across this rural territory. The Weikert post office maintains just 21 PO Boxes for the 112 occupied households, resulting in an adoption rate of 19%. Most residents receive mail via rural carrier routes instead. Two rural routes (R001 and R002) serve the handful of streets: Weikert Road and Jolys Grove Lane.
The high seasonal vacancy rate tells the story of a recreational community. More than half the homes sit empty most of the year, occupied only during hunting season, summer getaways, or weekend retreats. The median home value of $279,400 and median household income of $75,313 suggest comfortable second homes rather than luxury estates.
Work patterns show 31% of employed residents working from home, well above national averages. This rural location offers space and quiet for remote professionals. The community is 97% white with a median age of 43.5 years. Cherry Run appears as a non-mailing alias, likely a historic or local name for the area.
Just two streets serve this small rural community: Weikert Road and Jolys Grove Lane.
