Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Dublin, Virginia (ZIP 24084) comes out in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,436th) and the bottom 49% of Virginia (441st).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: park land lands in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Dental providers rests in the top 12.9% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Lead in tap water settles in the bottom 17% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the top 17% nationally. Set against that, fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lands in the top 17% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 24058, just across the boundary.

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 0.75 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.
