\nby Belmont and the Mundys Corner – Nicktown area.<\/p>\n

Beyond the CDPs, the county carries about 20 more named unincorporated communities, mostly
\nold coal-patch settlements: Belsano, Coupon, Dean, Dysart, Elmora, Elton, Emeigh, Fallentimber,
\nGarmantown, Glasgow, Hollentown, Marsteller, Mineral Point, New Germany, Nicktown, Parkhill,
\nSaint Benedict, Saint Boniface, Saint Lawrence and Twin Rocks. None has its own municipal
\ngovernment; each is administered as part of the township that surrounds it.<\/p>\n

Tunnelhill borough straddles the Cambria–Blair county line; most of its land and
\npopulation sit on the Cambria side, but part of the borough extends east into Blair County.
\nWestmont’s 2020 total, 4,982, is a genuine decline from its 2010 count of 5,181 — the
\nborough is a Johnstown streetcar suburb that has been losing population along with the rest of
\nthe county for decades.<\/p>\n
