Research Brief Highlights Updated ADI
The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) from the Neighborhood Atlas has been updated with the American Community Survey’s 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates. The ADI ranks block groups nationwide from least to most disadvantaged using education, employment, income, poverty, and housing data, and is widely used to study the social determinants of health.
Our latest brief examines how Pennsylvania’s block groups compare, measuring the share of each county’s population living in the bottom and top 30 percent of national rankings.
Key Findings from the Report:
- About 34.4 percent of Pennsylvania’s population lived in the most disadvantaged block groups. Twenty counties had at least 75 percent of their population in these areas.
- About 14.4 percent of Pennsylvania’s population lived in the least disadvantaged block groups. Two-thirds of counties had no residents in these areas.

Households Without Air Conditioning
The Local Air Conditioning Estimates (LACE) dataset shows how many households have air conditioning (AC), from the national level down to individual neighborhoods. Approximately 5.7 percent of households in Pennsylvania live without AC.
Most counties with a high share of households without AC are located in the northern tier of Pennsylvania, with the highest percentage found in Cameron (32.0%).
Counties where nearly all households have AC are primarily clustered in the southeastern and south-central regions of the state, including York and Chester, which are tied for the lowest share without AC (0.3%).
