By the composite measure, Crockett, Virginia (ZIP 24323) sits in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,397th) and the top 47% of Virginia (410th).
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: fiber broadband settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 10.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 14.2% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 17% nationally. By contrast, modeled radon resides in the top 16% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 15.0% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 24322, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.00 years of 77.4, 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.
