The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Higher is healthier
ST86thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

in the bottom 11.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS12thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
0.54%

Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS80thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Radon
1.2 pCi/L
in the bottom 34% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS34thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, Rose Valley, Pennsylvania (ZIP 19086) lands in the top 7.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,395th) and the top 5.9% of Pennsylvania (103rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on partial but real readings: household income settles in the top 4.0% nationally, modeled mammography registers in the top 4.9% nationally, and transit stands in the top 7.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 8.5% nationally, modeled tooth loss is in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and walkability resides in the top 11.8% nationally. Fiber broadband rests in the top 13.0% nationally, and modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 19008, about 2.6 miles away.

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 81.1, 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.
