Greene ranks in lower state quartile
Greene's 74.3-year life expectancy trails Pennsylvania's 76.4-year average by 2.1 years, placing it in the lower portion of the state's health rankings. This gap suggests structural health challenges from rural poverty and limited healthcare infrastructure that affect population longevity.
