Overall, King And Queen Court House, Virginia (ZIP 23085) lands in the bottom 33% nationally (21,504th) and the bottom 29% of Virginia (621st).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled binge drinking lies in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and pfas lands in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband is in the top 8.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled diabetes settles in the top 5.0% nationally, high blood pressure resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and stroke registers in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the top 4.0% nationally, modeled mobility disability stands in the top 7.1% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally.
A note on the 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 22437, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.28 years of 75.0, 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.
