Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Quinton, Virginia (ZIP 23141) ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,885th) and the top 20% of Virginia (173rd).
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: household income stands in the top 9.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Modeled mammography lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Grocery is in the top 14.5% nationally, modeled food insecurity settles in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 14.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss registers in the bottom 13.5% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 3.7% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 7.6% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Close by, ZIP 23116, about 5.3 miles away, 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 1.54 years of 76.8, 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
