Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 6.2% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 6.7% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 15% nationally. On the other hand, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 6.9% nationally. Household income settles in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 9.4% nationally.
In plain 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 23061, just across the boundary, 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 2.06 years of 84.2, 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.
