With coverage still partial across the sources, Milanville, Pennsylvania (ZIP 18443) lands in the top 9.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,065th) and the top 8.0% of Pennsylvania (139th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's available measures are set out plainly: homeownership rests at the national maximum, and modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 7.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening sits in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Against that, fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 18457, about 10 miles away, comes out healthier overall.
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

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.
