Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Callaway, Virginia (ZIP 24067) lands in the bottom 33% nationally (21,418th) and the bottom 29% of Virginia (619th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and tree cover registers in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 12.7% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 14.0% nationally. On the other side, poverty lands in the top 4.5% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 6.1% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 5.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease rests in the top 12.3% nationally.
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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 24059, 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 0.98 years of 76.6, 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.
