Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Hallieford, Virginia (ZIP 23068) lands in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,607th) and the top 45% of Virginia (389th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and poverty lies at the national minimum. Homeownership resides at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Modeled colon screening registers in the top 1.4% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Against that, distance to a community health center settles in the top 7.0% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 23043, 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 2.32 years of 84.9, 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.
