Full methodology ›The read
On what the available sources can show, ZIP 18902, one of several in Doylestown, Pennsylvania lands in the top 4.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,460th) and the top 3.8% of Pennsylvania (65th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of the available measures point to this much: household income settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the top 7.8% nationally, and colon screening rests in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled tooth loss stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally, homeownership lies in the top 13.0% nationally, and poverty lands in the bottom 13.3% nationally.

Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 18912, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.90 years of 81.6, 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.
