With only part of the picture in hand, Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania (ZIP 17064) lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,424th) and the top 13.7% of Pennsylvania (238th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data does reach, it says a few things here: modeled tree cover registers in the top 4.7% nationally, home broadband subscription lands in the top 5.6% nationally, and household income resides in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled colon screening lies in the top 4.4% nationally, walkability settles in the top 8.4% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 12.8% nationally. Set against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 4.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 6.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. ZIP 17041, about 2.3 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 0.80 years of 80.1, 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.
