The read

Esmont, Virginia (ZIP 22937), by its overall standing, sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,880th) and the top 23% of Virginia (204th).

The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: modeled mammography stands in the top 7.1% nationally, and colon screening lands in the top 7.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover resides in the top 14.0% nationally. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 21% nationally, and pfas settles in the bottom 21% nationally. Working the other way, recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 19% nationally.

Defined in plain terms, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 22902, 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 1.25 years of 79.4, 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.
