On the composite measure, ZIP 23665, one of several in Hampton, Virginia stands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,261st) and the top 27% of Virginia (235th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled stroke registers in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and hearing disability lies in the bottom 0.7% nationally. Modeled mobility disability is in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 2.2% nationally, homeownership lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the top 1.0% nationally. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 1.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies at the national minimum.
Set beside the wider area around it, floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 23662, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 2.21 years of 76.9, 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.
