Full methodology ›The read
With only part of the picture in hand, Hyde, Pennsylvania (ZIP 16843) lands in the bottom 27% nationally (23,295th) and the bottom 19% of Pennsylvania (1,413th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
With coverage still limited, the data points to what it can here: homeownership resides at the national maximum, home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 6.9% nationally, and walkability is in the top 9.0% nationally. Working the other way, unemployment rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 7.9% nationally. Poverty registers in the top 8.2% nationally, and households without a vehicle lands in the top 8.4% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. ZIP 16833, about 2.1 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 1.97 years of 81.7, 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.
