How to use the local evidence
Compare community contexts within Pennsylvania
Across 42 source-qualified communities with at least 20,000 residents, this guide’s planning measure ranges from 4.0% to 30.9%, with an unweighted community median of 7.0%. Examples from the largest available communities: Philadelphia: 6.5% (Residents aged 15–19); Pittsburgh: 8.3% (Residents aged 15–19); Allentown: 7.7% (Residents aged 15–19). The cohort includes Census places and county subdivisions, which can overlap. These figures summarize community percentages; they are not a sum of residents, a statewide rate, an insurance-demand estimate or a pricing model. Use each city’s source and survey universe before drawing conclusions.
ACS five-year figures are survey estimates over a period, not live counts. Do not use small differences to rank cities, or treat an estimated zero as proof that no residents fit a category. County hazard and event records can span areas outside the city. No community measure is used here to set a personal premium. Sources and editorial methodology
