What the distribution shows
Across the Hattiesburg, MS metro’s 11 ZIP codes, the ZipVitals Score spans a wide range. 11 of them carry enough measured coverage across all nine health domains to enter the population-weighted composite above; the rest are held out rather than filled from a coarser geography.
Only 11 of the Hattiesburg, MS metro's ZIP codes can be compared with each other across the nine scoring domains — too few to divide into fifths without a single ZIP code swinging the result — so the domain-by-domain breakdown that larger metro pages carry is left out here rather than shown on a handful of ZIP codes.

Why this matters
The ZipVitals Score combines nine domains of health — from chronic disease and preventive care to environmental hazard, social need, and healthcare access — into one 0–100 index for each ZIP code, computed the same way everywhere from public federal and academic data. The Hattiesburg, MS figures on this page are population-weighted rollups of those per-ZIP scores, so they describe the metro's residents rather than a coarser geography relabeled as the metro.
A high score describes favorable documented conditions; it is not a claim about individual residents, and it does not capture everything that shapes a community's health. Where a ZIP code scores low, that pattern reflects structural conditions — investment, environment, and access — far more than the choices of the people who live there.
