Corriganville sits in western Maryland's Allegany County, a small Appalachian community of 500 residents. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no street delivery alternative.

The community covers just 0.2 square miles but supports two rural carrier routes that extend into the surrounding hills. Street names tell the story of families who settled here: Poorbaugh Avenue, Kreighbaum Road, Whitehair Street, and Lowery Lane. Corrigan Drive bears the name of the town itself.
Residents are firmly rooted. The median age of 47.5 years and 82% homeownership rate point to an established, stable population. All residents were born in the United States. Median household income sits at $73,661, near the national average. Home values average $140,700.
Transportation and warehousing dominate local employment, with 244 workers in that sector. Another 37% work from home. The community functions as a bedroom community for workers commuting to jobs in the broader region while maintaining its rural, small-town character.
Street names preserve local family heritage: Poorbaugh, Kreighbaum, Whitehair, and the town namesake Corrigan.
