Full methodology ›The read
On the measures available for this ZIP, Zieglerville, Pennsylvania (ZIP 19492) lands in the top 9.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,934th) and the top 7.5% of Pennsylvania (130th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
So far as the data reaches, a few readings can be drawn: childcare registers in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the top 2.6% nationally, and disaster risk lies in the bottom 8.9% nationally. By contrast, slow internet speeds rests in the top 1.1% nationally, households without a vehicle resides in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the top 3.1% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the top 6.1% nationally, home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 8.6% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 19438, about 1.5 miles away.
What’s driving this score
Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts. Compare it against the US, this state and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro area.

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 0.87 years of 79.9, 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.
