Lyndhurst, Virginia (ZIP 22952), on the composite measure, lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,193rd) and the top 27% of Virginia (234th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: park land settles in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled tree cover stands in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening is in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff rests in the bottom 10.9% nationally, homeownership sits in the top 11.1% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity registers in the bottom 12.3% nationally. Modeled transportation lands in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and food insecurity resides in the bottom 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Working the other way, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 22920, just across the boundary.

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 0.79 years of 77.6, 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.
