With the picture still incomplete, Allensville, Pennsylvania (ZIP 17002) lands in the bottom 11.9% nationally (28,252nd) and the bottom 6.5% of Pennsylvania (1,635th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
From the measures on hand, the profile can say a few things: modeled tree cover lies in the top 7.8% nationally, floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 14.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 18% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Against that, fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled radon registers in the top 12.2% nationally, and tooth loss lands in the top 11.2% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides in the top 18% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 18% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 17051, just across the boundary.

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 1.24 years of 78.8, 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.
