By the composite health measure, Radiant, Virginia (ZIP 22732) ranks in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,903rd) and the top 29% of Virginia (255th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 8.6% nationally, disaster risk registers in the bottom 10.0% nationally, and colon screening rests in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 14.2% nationally. On the other side, poverty lies in the top 6.2% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 7.0% nationally.

To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Close by, ZIP 22923, about 3.8 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.59 years of 80.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

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.
