By the composite measure, Fort Monroe, Virginia (ZIP 23651) sits in the top 5.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,711th) and the top 8.3% of Virginia (72nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 0.6% nationally, food insecurity lies in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 0.8% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, colon screening is in the top 0.5% nationally, and mammography rests in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits at the national minimum. On the other hand, homeownership registers at the national minimum, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 0.6% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 2.5% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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

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.
