Full methodology ›The read
Steeles Tavern, Virginia (ZIP 24476), overall, ranks in the bottom 34% nationally (21,192nd) and the bottom 30% of Virginia (613th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: households without a vehicle lands in the top 1.1% nationally, home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 7.4% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, poverty registers at the national minimum, and homeownership resides at the national maximum. Floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. ZIP 24472, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.36 years of 79.6, 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.
