The read

Judged by its overall standing, Jeffersonton, Virginia (ZIP 22724) sits in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,387th) and the top 21% of Virginia (187th).

A few measures carry most of this area's good news: household income sits in the top 4.7% nationally, modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 12.8% nationally, and modeled transportation resides in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 14.1% nationally, utility shutoff stands in the bottom 14.9% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the bottom 16% nationally. Homeownership sits in the top 17% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 17% nationally. Set against that, distance to a community health center resides in the top 7.6% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Put plainly, 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 20186, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.89 years of 77.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
