Yes, your niece is the daughter of your sibling (sister or brother), so there is continuity of "blood" (i.e., genetic descent) from your common parent(s), assuming your sister/brother and her/his daughter are not adopted.

If the nephew is a child of one of the aunt's siblings, then the nephew is blood related to his aunt. However, a nephew may also be the child of the sibling of the aunt's husband and is then not a "blood relative" of the aunt.

To the extend that the obsolete and rather meaningless term "blood relative" applies an aunt is a blood relative because an aunt is the sister of your mother or your father.

On the othe rhand, we also call the wife of an uncle (the brother of your mother or father) an aunt, and that person is not a "blood relative" because she shares no ancestors with you.

Is a blood related aunt considered a member of your immediate family?

A niece is the daughter of your brother or sister and therefore has at least one grandparent who is also your ancestor. Sharing an ancestor, you are blood relatives - to the extent that term has any real meaning. (Remember, we share DNA, not blood, with our relatives.) However, if the niece, or her parent, was adopted, she is still a niece but shares no genetics with you and so would not be considered a "blood relative" by those who use that term.
