Full methodology ›The read
With coverage still partial across the sources, ZIP 19141, one of several in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally (31,724th) and the bottom 0.7% of Pennsylvania (1,736th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading what data there is, a few things can be said: walkability stands in the top 1.8% nationally, childcare rests in the top 2.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum. Transit resides in the top 3.9% nationally, and pharmacy settles in the top 4.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled short sleep is in the top 0.5% nationally, and tooth loss sits in the top 3.2% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the top 3.1% nationally. Unemployment stands in the top 5.2% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 19120, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.65 years of 74.4, 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.
