On the composite measure, ZIP 23113, one of several in Midlothian, Virginia stands in the top 3.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,075th) and the top 6.5% of Virginia (56th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and dental providers stands in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 2.0% nationally, household income resides in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and cognitive disability resides in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 3.2% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 23233, about 3.5 miles away, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby. Beyond the headline readings, the area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.69 years of 80.8, 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. How distance is measured
