Working from the partial data available, Crabtree, Pennsylvania (ZIP 15624) lands in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,814th) and the top 24% of Pennsylvania (424th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
What the available data indicates is laid out plainly: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 16% nationally. Set against that, home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and households without a vehicle resides in the top 1.2% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 15662, about 0.7 miles away.

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 1.50 years of 81.8, 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.
