Radon
3.6 pCi/L
in the top 4.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›The read
On the coverage assembled to date, Cabot, Pennsylvania (ZIP 16023) lands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,885th) and the top 21% of Pennsylvania (373rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography rests in the top 10.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 14.6% nationally, floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 14.9% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 16% nationally. By contrast, modeled radon resides in the top 4.4% nationally, households without a vehicle lands in the top 8.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 16% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 16055, just across the boundary.
What’s driving this score

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 1.15 years of 79.9, 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.
