Full methodology ›The read
On what the available sources can show, Allenport, Pennsylvania (ZIP 15412) lands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,891st) and the top 33% of Pennsylvania (581st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of the available measures point to this much: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening rests in the top 9.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled transportation noise lies in the top 0.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 4.5% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Unemployment settles in the top 9.5% nationally, and poverty resides in the top 9.9% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Close by, ZIP 15427, about 3.6 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

Not placed: Chronic Disease Burden and Risk Behavior — too little of each is measured here to compare reliably. They still count toward the score (together 38% of it); we just will not publish a standing we cannot stand behind.
No data: Mental Health and Disability — not measured in this ZIP, so it is left out of the score entirely rather than estimated.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.20 years of 81.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
