Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Stevensville, Virginia (ZIP 23161) lands in the bottom 32% nationally (21,866th) and the bottom 27% of Virginia (635th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled pfas settles in the bottom 2.3% nationally, modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and poverty sits in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled high blood pressure rests in the top 4.9% nationally, and diabetes registers in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the top 4.6% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 7.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. On the overall standing, ZIP 23023, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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.
